5. What material is the product incompatible with?

Chlorine reacts with most materials, especially flammable materials, other reducing agents, and
nearly all metals. At temperatures below 250°F (121°C) certain common metals (e.g, iron, copper,
steel, lead, nickel) resist reaction with dry chlorine, but others (e.g, aluminum, arsenic, gold,
mercury, tin, titanium) react. Moist chlorine is highly corrosive except to glass, stoneware, porcelain,
and certain alloys and only at low pressure. Titanium ignites spontaneously on contact with dry
chlorine. Carbon steel ignites in chlorine at temperatures near 483°F (251°C).
