chemical compatibility chart

[Granny]

I think it would be really useful for a quick overview.

I am thinking about a table like this:

solvent /       Hydrochloric Acid(A)    vinegar(A)      lye(B)  Sodium Carbonate(B)     naphtha(NP)     d-limonene(NP)
material

glass (white)   up to 1%; > ph 3        up to 99%       3g/l    can withstand fully      ok             might dissolve
                                        > ph -1         < ph 9  saturated water ph 12                   not ok!

glass (green)

iron

steel

aluminium

plastic (general)

PET

jam jar cap

wood

first row is just an example
I think a picture would be much better. Or even better a good table in the wiki.
Maybe split up for bases, acids, NPS, PS and PPS.

What do you think about this?
What materials/reagents should be in there?

Well I guess this is already available with a google search, but at times there is conflicting data, or doenst contain exactly what we want.

In any case if you want to make it yourself I would say the chemicals most used here in this community are: Na2CO3, NaHCO3, NaOH, CaOH + fumaric, acetic, citric, hydrochloric and phosphoric acid + limonene, xylene, toluene, naphtha/hexane/heptane, vegetable oils, DCM, MEK, IPA, Butane, Methanol, Ethanol and Acetone + PP, HDPE, PET, PVC, Stainless Steel, Copper, Glass, Wood.

thanks biopsylo,

that´s what I was looking for. Searched a long time for such a database.:d :d :d

Btw I used the coleparmer data to build two excel files which I attach here.
The full data version is the whole database, the selected data version could be used as a starting point for a chart which we could use here at the Nexus.
Unfortunately not all what we need was in the database.
The selected data file still contains a lot of data which might be unnescessary for us, but I left it in just in case.

Have fun

Why yes thank you biopsylo!
This seems to be a good starting point.
Should we keep their ranking of A,B,C,D or use a different system?


Well endlessness, I would do some but not all of them. If everyone could do some this wouldn't be much of a hassle.
If there is interest we could start by laying out in which form we want to do it, so there is a consistent layout. If not we all can research every time the same stuff all over again.

oh yeah Granny by all means I didnt mean you should do all the work !

Im always glad when people are willing to do any work for the community

I think the nexus wiki would be a good place to place this, just laying the form there and then people can collaboratively add. Feel free to join the wiki!
