Page 52: Chemical Compatibility Of Wetted Materials
The following list contains information about the chemical compatibility of all wetted materials which are used in devices made by KNAUER. The data bases on a literature research on the manufacturer specifications of the materials. The wetted materials of this device are listed in the chapter “Technical data”. - Page 53 Chemical compatibility of wetted materials Polyimide (Vespel®) This material is wear-resistant and permanent resilient thermically (up to 200 °C) as well as mechanically. It is chemically broadly inert (pH range 1-10) and is especially resistant against acidic to neutral and organic solvents, but vulnerable to pH strong chemical or oxidizing environments: It is incompatible with concentrated mineral acids (such as sulfuric acid), glacial acetic acid, DMSO and THF.

Chemical compatibility of wetted materials Polychlortrifluorethylene (PCTFE, Kel-F®) The semi-crystalline thermoplastic material is plasticizer-free and dimen- sionally stable, even in a wide temperature range (−240 °C to+205 °C). It is moderately resistent against ether, halogenated solvents and toluene. Halogenated solvents over +60 °C and chlorine gas should not be used. Fluorinated rubber (FKM) The elastomer consisting of fluorinated hydrocarbon stands out due to a high resistance against mineral oils, synthetic hydraulic fluids, fuels,... -

Chemical compatibility of wetted materials Mineral wool This insulating material consists of glass or stone wool fibres and isolates in high oxidizing conditions and at high temperatures. Mineral wool is valid as commonly inert against organic solvents and acids. Glass, glass fibre, quartz, quartz glass These mineral materials are resistant against corrosion and wear and are mostly chemical inert.
