Corrosivity of trifluoroacetic acid
Thread Content
May I ask: Where can I find the corrosivity data for trifluoroacetic acid? Which material is more appropriate to use in this system? Thank you
I’m not familiar with trifluoroacetic acid; I checked Baidu – for personal protection: wear rubber acid- and alkali-resistant clothing. Hand protection: Wear rubber acid- and alkali-resistant gloves.
Trifluoroacetic acid is an organic acid, and its acidity is weaker than that of mineral acids. You can look through a \"Corrosion Data and Material Selection Manual\"; it’s quite old and difficult to read. The material selection should also provide other data, such as temperature. Normally, fluoroplastic materials will work.
