Polystyrene/styrofoam resistance to acids
Hallo, I read on some literature that polystyrene/styrofoam has a 'B' rating when it comes to resisting the main three acids: HCl, H2SO4 and NO3.
What I can not find is if this means that this squeaky packaging material either dissolves slowly over say 24 hours, or if it contaminates the
solution.
I wish to place it in Copper chloride solutions where HCl is active.
I see that it does not react but that in itself does not tell me if ity is reacting microscopically so to speak and will contaminate the solution.
thankyou.
