FLUORINE (GAS) Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Fluorine, also known as elemental fluorine or F2 gas, is a pale yellow, highly reactive gas with a sharp pungent odor used in the production of fluorocarbons, fluoropolymers, and other fluorinated chemicals. This extremely toxic and corrosive gas can cause severe respiratory and skin damage upon exposure. In equipment handling fluorine, O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components must be carefully selected for chemical compatibility, as fluorine can rapidly attack many rubber materials. Strict handling, storage, and protective safety practices are essential.
