What is a chemical compatibility chart?
This Chemical Compatibility Chart is a shorthand tool for describing the suitability of miniature fluidic and pneumatic component materials for use in contact with various chemicals. Use this chart to help guide your component selection.
What material is resistant to chemicals?
1. PTFE (or Teflon™) – PTFE, also commonly known as Teflon™, is one of the most acid resistant materials available and is commonly used in chemical and pharmaceutical lab applications.
What material is compatible with sulfuric acid?
For 90% to 100% sulfuric acid, a good choice would be 316L stainless steel. Since it is a molybdenum bearing grade, it has improved resistance to velocity enhanced corrosion or impingement in valves.
What plastic is chemical resistant?
Polyolefins for good chemical resistance The two most common polyolefin materials that are used for applications involving chemical environments are polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP). Polyethylene and polypropylene: Have good chemical resistance at room temperature.
What is used for excellent chemical resistance surface?
PFA has mechanical toughness, offers good dielectric properties and offers excellent chemical resistance. Epoxy coatings are a type of thermosetting copolymer. Epoxy coatings are commonly used in concrete and steel applications because they provide chemical resistant and corrosion resistant properties.
What are the 4 general rules for storing chemicals?
To store chemicals safely, DO the following;
- Label all chemical containers fully.
- Provide a specific storage space for each chemical, and ensure return after each use.
- Store volatile toxics and odoriferous chemicals in ventilated cabinets.
- Store flammable liquids in approved flammable liquid storage cabinets.
Where should you store chemicals at home?
Safe storage of household chemicals
- Store flammable liquids preferably outside in a metal cabinet or in an unheated area.
- Store corrosive materials in a place such as a plastic tub or tray where the product can’t spill out if the container leaks.
- Store out of the reach of children and pets.
