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.
Can incompatible chemicals be stored together?
Storing incompatible chemicals together could create a hazardous reaction such as the production of toxic gas, accelerated corrosion, or an exothermic reaction (a chemical reaction that releases heat), which could result in an explosion and/or fire.
What happens when incompatible chemicals are mixed?
Incompatible chemicals give an undesired chemical reaction when mixed. This usually refers to substances that will react to cause an imminent threat to health and safety through an explosion, fire, and/or formation of toxic materials.

- 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.
What type of chemicals are incompatible with the product?
Partial List of Incompatible Chemicals (Reactive Hazards)
| Chemical | Incompatible with |
|---|---|
| Chlorine | Ammonia, acetylene, butadiene, butane, methane, propane (or other petroleum gases), hydrogen, sodium carbide, benzene, finely divided metals, turpentine |
| Chlorine dioxide | Ammonia, methane, phosphine, hydrogen sulfide |
Is 316 SS compatibility with sulfuric acid?
Looking specifically at sulfuric acid, Type 316 is more protective. Type 304 is only resistant to up to 3% acid at room temperature while type 316 is resistant to up to 20% acid at temperatures of up to 50° C. This suggests that type 304 is not suitable for use with sulfuric acid solutions.
