Great Website To Check Chemical Compatibility

[Emcneill]

Hello all! I am continually tinkering and improving my still and a very hot topic seems to be what materials can or cannot be used in this hobby. I found a great website that shows chemical compatibility between two materials. Interestingly Nylon seems to be a good way to gasket connections against harsh chemical like acetone, and the other harsh vapors that are produced in the distillation process.

That's a terrible website for checking compatibility as you can't check multiple chemicals at a time. Nylon is attacked by several components to be expected in distillation and you missed that by using this website.

You can check them one by one or by clicking on the Material compatibility tab check all chemicals at once.

On further inspection, you are right about Nylon. It may be corrosive to chemicals that are in the Tails.
