Note:
1) Corrosion behavior of chemicals depends on their temperature, concentration, and other factors.
2) Extremely high corrosion may occur when some chemicals are mixed.
3) Accordingly, this table is only for reference. Best to test samples before applying the material to an corrosive environment.
