CHLORINE (DRY) Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Chlorine dry, also known as dry chlorine gas or Cl2, is a greenish-yellow, highly reactive gas with a sharp, pungent odor. It is widely used in water treatment, disinfection systems, bleaching processes, and chemical manufacturing. Although dry chlorine is less aggressive than moist chlorine, it remains highly toxic and corrosive. When specifying O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components for dry chlorine service, material compatibility must be carefully evaluated to prevent cracking or degradation. Proper gas handling, storage, monitoring, and PPE are essential for safety and reliable rubber performance.
