Thionyl Chloride

It’s important to note that thionyl chloride is reactive and can release dangerous gases when in contact with water or other reagents. Additionally, it can corrode phenolic resin, particularly at temperatures exceeding 100°C. Low-quality graphite may also have a short lifespan when exposed to thionyl chloride. However, our grade GT KELITE+ performs well up to 100% concentration at 100°C.

For applications requiring extended lifespan, higher concentration, and resistance up to 100% at 180°C, GT has developed grade GT FLON. Corrosion tests or sample requests can be arranged upon request.
