All I have on this media is an MSDS, no temperature. Does anyone know of somewhere I could find some data on how this media attacks. I haven't been able to come across this, but I know it is very nasty and caustic. I have found some information on Toulene, but not toluene contaminated with DCA. I am thinking c276, since it is chemical processes work horse and should handle toluene but I need some concrete data.

With how much water? IF you separate the acid what is its concentration?
I would not expect this material to dissociate in toluene.
since this acid is an analog of acetic acid we can look at that data (with Cl contamination).
We see that high alloy stainless grades (6%Mo superaustenitics) do very well, you don't need Ni alloys.

Is there any data from the people that make DCA?
