IODINE PENTAFLUORIDE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Iodine pentafluoride (IF₅) is a colorless, highly reactive liquid used in various industrial and laboratory applications. It is a strong fluorinating agent employed in the synthesis of organic and inorganic fluorine compounds. Iodine pentafluoride is also used as an oxidizing agent and in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Despite its utility, IF₅ poses significant health hazards, including severe respiratory, skin, and eye irritation. It is also highly corrosive and can react violently with water and other substances. Proper handling, storage, and stringent safety measures are essential to minimize risks and ensure safe usage.
