CFC-60, Guidelines for the Use of Aluminum with Food and Chemicals (Sixth Edition, April 1994), provides a concise guide to the behavior of aluminum in contact with a wide variety of foods and chemicals. Intended for the food and chemical process industries, it brings together compatibility data that help engineers judge whether aluminum equipment, containers, piping and packaging suit a particular product, cleaning agent or process stream, taking account of alloy selection, surface condition, concentration and temperature. The guidelines are used when specifying aluminum vessels, trays, heat exchangers and handling equipment in applications where corrosion resistance and product purity matter.
