CHLORINE, WET GAS Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Chlorine gas, identified by the formula Cl2, is a greenish yellow halogen with a strong, irritating odor. When moisture is present, wet chlorine becomes significantly more corrosive in processing and treatment systems. This environment can challenge O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and various plastic materials, requiring careful compatibility evaluation. Wet chlorine is highly toxic and may cause serious skin burns and respiratory damage upon exposure. Strict storage controls, safe handling procedures, and proper PPE are necessary to protect personnel and equipment.
