  • 4. Chemical and Physical Information
    FLUORIDES, HYDROGEN FLUORIDE, AND FLUORINE 187 4. CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL INFORMATION 4.1 CHEMICAL IDENTITY The common synonyms and other information for fluorine, hydrogen fluoride, sodium fluoride, fluorosilicic acid, and sodium fluorosilicate are listed in Table 4-1. The terms “fluorine” and “fluoride” are often used interchangeably in the literature as generic terms. In this document, we will use “fluoride” as a general term to refer to all combined forms of fluorine unless the particular compound or form is known and there is a reason for referring to it. The term “fluorine gas” will sometimes be used to emphasize the fact that we are referring to the elemental form of fluorine rather than a combined form. In general, the differentiation between different ionic and molecular or gaseous and particulate forms of fluorine-containing substances is uncertain and may also be unnecessary. 4.2 PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Fluorine is the lightest member of Group 17 (VIIA) of the periodic table. This group, the halogens, also includes chloride, bromine, and iodine. As with the other halogens, fluorine occurs as a diatomic molecule, F2, in its elemental form. It has only one stable isotope and its valence in all compounds is -1. Fluorine is the most reactive of all the elements, which may be attributed to its large electronegativity (estimated standard potential +2.85 V). It reacts at room temperature or elevated temperatures with all elements other than nitrogen, oxygen, and the lighter noble gases. Fluorine is also notable for its small size; large numbers of fluorine atoms fit around atoms of another element.

  • Chemical Resistance of SIGRATHERM® Foil and Sheets
    Chemical resistance of SIGRATHERM® foil and sheets This technical information is valid for SIGRATHERM flexible graphite foil and sheets, including SIGRATHERM L (lightweight graphite board), which are ● manufactured from expanded natural graphite ● free from additives, e.g. PCM's (Phase Change Material). Chemical properties Graphite is insoluble and infusible. It counts as one of the most chemically resistant materials. Organic chemistry Graphite is resistant to virtually all media in the field of organic chemistry. These typically include, for example, the intermedi- ate and/or final products of the following industries: ● Petrochemistry ● Coal conversion ● Synthetics ● Varnish and paint ● Cosmetics ● Food and stimulants industry ● Photochemicals ● Cooling agents ● Anti-freezing agents Inorganic chemistry Graphite is resistant to almost all inorganic media as well, for example to many acids and bases, as well as probably all ↑ SIGRATHERM flexible graphite foil aqueous salt solutions and to most technical gases. The following media resistance list shall provide an overview. individual cases. It should be noted, that mixtures can be For media which are not included it is generally advised to partly more critical than pure media or vice versa. confer with SGL Carbon. Four different cases can be distinguished: 1. resistant The resistance data apply to operating temperatures of the 2. not resistant medium mentioned which are known to us. However for media 3. limited resistance being operated at above 400 °C or 752 °F, we generally ask for 4. insufficient data – consultation. The third case depends on the stability of operation, operating The information is based on experience, laboratory tests and is temperatures or the concentration.
