| Nov 18, 2018 at 3:52 | comment | added | WhatRoughBeast | Sorry, but I had to downvote. See "Sand Won't Save You This Time" blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2008/02/26/… "It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water-with which it reacts explosively. It can be kept in some of the ordinary structural metals-steel, copper, aluminium, etc.-because of the formation of a thin film of insoluble metal fluoride" ClF3 will set fire to glass quite nicely, thank you, and no plastic will survive exposure. It's actually worse than fluorine. | |
