What acids should not be stored together?
Incompatible acids must not be stored together. (Examples: perchloric acid is not to be stored with a reducing agent such as sulfuric acid, as upon mixing, this could produce a shock sensitive explosive; nitric acid and acetic acid, a potential explosive mixture, must not be stored together.)
How do you use a chemical compatibility chart?
How to use this chart to determine compatibility. Find the name of the chemical along the left column of the chart. The chemicals are listed alphabetically. Compare the chemical with the various component material options listed along the top row of the chart.
What chemicals can not be stored together?
10 Sets of Chemicals Which Should Never Be Stored Together
- Chlorine. Chlorine is a common disinfectant, is widely used in swimming pools and leisure centres.
- Acetone.
- Iodine.
- H20 (Water)
- Caustic Soda.
- Nitric Acid.
- Hydrogen Peroxide.
- Zinc Powder.
Is Sulphuric acid compatibility with stainless steel?
Sulphuric acid has a strong affinity for water, extracting water from its surroundings and hence diluting itself. The result can be that acid thought to be ‘safely’ concentrated for contact with 304 type stainless steels, say above 90%, can actually attack the steel if water has been picked up.
Which material has the best chemical resistance property?
Good Chemical Resistance
- Acetal. High strength, stiff, low friction engineering plastic with good wear properties.
- ECTFE. Fluoropolymer with outstanding mechanical properties and dimensional stability.
- ETFE.
- FEP.
- Fluted Polypropylene Boards.
- HDPE.
- LDPE.
- Nylon.
Where should chemicals never be stored?
Chemicals should be stored no higher than eye level and never on the top shelf of a storage unit. Do not overcrowd shelves. Each shelf should have an anti-roll lip. Avoid storing chemicals on the floor (even temporarily) or extending into traffic aisles.

What do you need to know about chemicial compatibility?
Chemicial Compatibility Guide The following information is intended to be used as a general guideline for pump material selection. The information accuracy of these ratings cannot be guaranteed, nor is it a complete list due to the extensive area of this field. Materials used in the pump and pumping systems must be chemically compatible.
Is it OK to mix acetone with nitric acid?
Never mix concentrated nitric acid and organics, such as acetone, unless you are following a respectable procedure and use a blast shield and proper precautions.
