    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.

  • Ball Valve Seat/Seal Materials and Service Applications
    APPLICATIONS - VALVE SOFT SEAT/SEAL MATERIALS One of the most important factors affecting shutoff capability is the nature of media being handled. Service life is affected by all of the following factors: - pressure, temperature, degree of pressure fluctuation and thermal fluctuation, type of media, cycling frequency, velocity of media & speed of valve operation. The following seat & seal materials can be used in various valves such as ball, plug, butterfly, needle, etc. BUNA-N (HYCAR or Nitrile) - Buna-N is a general-purpose polymer which has good resistance to oil, water, solvents and hydraulic fluids. It also displays good compression, abrasion resistance, and tensile strength. This material performs extremely well in process areas where paraffin base materials, fatty acids, oils, alcohols or glycerins are present, since it is totally unaffected. It should not be used around high polar solvents (acetones, ketones), chlorinated hydrocarbons, ozone or nitro hydrocarbons. Temperature range is 107°C maximum. Hycar is black in colour and should not be used where discolouration cannot be tolerated. It is regarded as a comparable replacement neoprene. Major differences are: Buna-N has a higher temperature limit; neoprene is more resistant to oils. EPDM - EPDM is a terpolymer elastomer made from ethylene-propylene diene monomer. EPDM has good abrasion and tear resistance and offers excellent chemical resistance to a variety of acids and alkalines. It is susceptible to attacks by oils and is not recommended for applications involving petroleum oils, strong acids, or strong alkalines. EPDM should not be used on compressed air lines. It has exceptionally good weather aging and ozone resistance.
