3 chemical compatibility records

Chemical compatibility

Acids

Multi-source documented
Sulfuric Acid (98%, fuming/oleum)
Materials: FEP/PFA/PTFE/ECTFE (remain resistant) · PVDF (fails at fuming concentrations)
Altaflo/Pexco ALTAFLUOR 200/350/400/480

Fluoropolymer tubing remains resistant at fuming-acid concentrations where PVDF fails, per file's engineering-rules cross-reference.

Oxidizers/Disinfectants

Manufacturer-documented
OzoneFluorosurfactants (PFA resistance)
Materials: PVDF (Altaflo 550 Flex, ozone resistant) · UHP PFA (fluorosurfactant resistant)
Altaflo 550 PVDF Flex Tubing · Altaflo 480 UHP PFA

Altaflo 550 explicitly marketed as 'preferred for water disinfecting processes involving ozone' — a chemistry not otherwise covered by chlorine-centric project rules.

Solvents/Organics

Limited documentation
Vacuum-drawn chemical transfer solvents (vacuum distillation)
Materials: PTFE · PP · PVDF liners
JCS Tool PTFE/PP/PVDF-lined tubing/fittings

Vendor's named application is vacuum-drawn chemical transfer/vacuum distillation service.

Models
