Frequently Asked Questions
Which materials resist Sodium Iodide at high concentrations?
The materials with an A rating (resistant) for Sodium Iodide at 20 °C are: PTFE, HDPE, PP, PVDF, PVC Rigid, EPDM, Viton (FPM), NBR. These can generally be used in direct contact.
Does temperature affect chemical resistance to Sodium Iodide?
Yes. 4 of 12 tested materials show a worse rating at 50 °C than at 20 °C for Sodium Iodide. Materials affected include: PVDF, PVC Rigid, SS 316, SS 304.
Is PTFE safe for Sodium Iodide?
PTFE is rated A for Sodium Iodide at 20 °C. A rating of A means resistant, B means limited resistance, C means partly resistant, and D means not resistant.
About this data
The ratings come from the chemical resistance list published by Bürkle GmbH, which compiled them from raw-material manufacturers’ data. They describe laboratory tests on the raw material at 20 °C and 50 °C.
A finished part also sees pressure, mechanical stress, welds and mixtures that a laboratory test does not. Treat the rating as a first filter and test under your own conditions before relying on it.
