To see if your materials interact with the chemicals you wish to use, simply select your material and chemical used. If you have multiple materials or chemicals, you can select “All” to view a complete list of chemical effects. Click Submit to determine the compatibility level.
You can also refine your search by using the Compatibility Level option to see which materials have “A-Excellent” compatibility with a certain chemical.
For your safety, Cole-Parmer generally recommends those materials which have an “A-Excellent” compatibility with the selected chemical. You should never use a material with a chemical that has “D-Severe” compatibility.
Don’t forget to bookmark the Chemical Compatibility Database—this simple and important tool is guaranteed to help keep your workspace safe!
