What is a chemical compatibility chart?
This Chemical Compatibility Chart is a shorthand tool for describing the suitability of miniature fluidic and pneumatic component materials for use in contact with various chemicals. Use this chart to help guide your component selection.
What does it mean if chemicals are compatible?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Chemical compatibility is a measure of how stable a substance is when mixed with another substance. If two substances can mix together and undergo a chemical reaction, they are considered incompatible.
How do you know if a material is compatible?
Contact test As in material compatibility soak test, the test material is first visually inspected and the condition recorded. Next, a cotton ball soaked with sample solution is placed on the test material to cover at least 50% of the surface. The cotton ball is replaced with a fresh soak every 24 hours for 14 days.
What chemicals should you not store together?

What do you mean by compatibility?
Compatibility is the capacity for two systems to work together without having to be altered to do so. Compatible software applications use the same data formats. For example, if word processor applications are compatible, the user should be able to open their document files in either product.
What is the meaning of incompatible chemicals?
Incompatible chemicals give an undesired chemical reaction when mixed. This usually refers to substances that will react to cause an imminent threat to health and safety through an explosion, fire, and/or formation of toxic materials.
Can corrosives be stored with flammables?
Question: Can I store flammable and corrosive chemicals in the same storage cabinet? Reply: Yes, assuming that the chemicals are being stored in accordance with the manufacturers’ requirements, in approved containers, and inside an approved storage cabinet.
What are the five Compatibility groups for chemicals in stores?

- Flammable liquids.
- Compressed gases.
- Volatile poisons.
- Acids.
- Liquid bases.
What are incompatible materials?

Can you store incompatible chemicals together?
Storing incompatible chemicals together could create a hazardous reaction such as the production of toxic gas, accelerated corrosion, or an exothermic reaction (a chemical reaction that releases heat), which could result in an explosion and/or fire.
