  • Xyfluor Chemical Compatibility Guide
    456456 Xyfluor® Chemical Compatibility Xyfluor® is a proprietary, highly fluorinated elastomer. The oxygen in the polymer backbone provides outstanding low-temperature capabilities - far better than FKM or FFKM elastomers. The polymer provides improved resistance to many harsh chemicals that can attack the hydrogen in FKM elastomers. The chemical resistance of Xyfluor® approaches but is not equivalent to FFKM elastomers. A = Swell < 10% after exposure. Suitable. B = Swell > 10% & < 20% after exposure. Generally suitable.

  • Hydrogen Peroxide Material Compatibility Chart from ISM and IS
    ver 09-Jul-2020 Hydrogen Peroxide Material Compatibility Chart All wetted surfaces should be made of materials that are compatible with hydrogen peroxide. The wetted area or surface of a part, component, vessel or piping is a surface which is in permanent contact with or is permanently exposed to the process fluid (liquid or gas). Less than 8% concentration H2O2 is considered a non-hazardous substance. Typically encountered versions are baking soda-peroxide toothpaste (0.5%), contact lens sterilizer (2%), over-the-counter drug store Hydrogen Peroxide (3%), liquid detergent non-chlorine bleach (5%) and hair bleach (7.5%). At 8% to 28% H2O2 is rated as a Class 1 Oxidizer. At these concentrations H2O2 is usually encountered as a swimming pool chemical used for pool shock treatments. In the range of 28.1% to 52% concentrations, H2O2 is rated as a Class 2 Oxidizer, a Corrosive and a Class 1 Unstable (reactive) substance. At these concentrations, H2O2 is considered industrial strength grade. Concentrations from 52.1% to 91% are rated as Class 3 Oxidizers, Corrosive and Class 3 Unstable (reactive) substances. H2O2 at these concentrations are used for specialty chemical processes. At concentrations above 70%, H2O2 is usually designated as high-test peroxide (HTP). Concentrations of H2O2 greater than 91% are currently used as rocket propellant. At these concentrations, H2O2 is rated as a Class 4 Oxidizer, Corrosive and a Class 3 Unstable (reactive) substance.

Selecting the correct elastomer for an application will depend on the chemical resistance, temperature and mechanical properties needed. Resistance is a function both of temperatures and concentration, and there are many reagents which can be handled for limited temperature ranges and concentrations.

NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis suggest that the aryl-substituted silenolates 2b,c exhibit increased character of functionalized silenes as compared to the alkyl-substituted derivative 2a due to the different coordination of the K+ counterion to the SiC(R)O moiety. 2b,c, thus, reacted with ClSiiPr3 to give the exocyclic silenes (Me3Si)2Si(Si2Me4)2Si C(OSiiPr3)R (3b:R = Mes; 3c: o-Tol), while 2a afforded the Si-silylated acylcyclohex- asilane 1d.
