Hello
I have not posted for awhile but hope that you might help. Materials change and evolve all the time. I cannot find a good thread or a good reference book giving in a LIST FORM – Common Incompatible Materials.
I did do a search on this subject and found an attempt at this from 2002.
I thought this could be easy to do in this list if everyone just added there 2 cents. (Serious 2 cents, the last attempt listed, among other things,DW and wallpaper, Bud and Roof, hammer and thumb etc.)
I will consolidate or table the list afterwords. Please be specific about things like which PT wood you mention etc. Please also keep it short in description. Between all the caulks, solvents, metals and wood, this could be helpful.
Thanks for your experience.

Well, lessee
Oil and latex paints don't mix very well, everyone knows that.
But some oil based stains and others do not mix either. I think it is the presence of stearates in some products that does it. I had a mix turn to tar as I was using it.
and while on the subject of stains, a cabinet guy installing on a job had poured a couple ounces into a Styrofoam cup, which started to dissolve in his hand. Luckily, he had a rag nearby to wrap as he ran for the door so no floors ruined.
Bituminous products are not compatible with EPDM roofing.
Silicone caulk is not as good as many assume around metal.
A lot of glues will dissolve EPS foam insulation. Need to use PL300 or spray foam cans only - maybe Gorilla glue.
You mentioned the PY. ACQ must have separation from all fasteners except Stainless steel or double dipped hot galv or they will rust out pronto.
Ditra instructions need carefull study. Most applications need unmodified thinset, not modified.
scotch and white wine are also incompatible.
That is all I can think of off the top of my head right now.

Now Piffin, we crossed posts in mid stream here so I am not making reference to your comment on silicon and metal.

We were coming at that point with different things in mind anyways. I have also heard of that acid thing eating metal, but never seen it.My experience was in roofiong metal roofs, that when used as a seal, the silicone hardens and then with thermal movement of the metal, the seal separates, leaving a potential leak. After silicone, I went to butyle caulk - long time ago- but that is hard tro use in the cold and is very messy.
Next generation was Geocell, and I find that so good, I doubtr I will ever learn a new trick for caulking to metal. It stays stuck and has 300-800% elasticity to handle the thermal movement. If you used it for that flashing, you would likely have trashed the AL before removing all the geocell caulk, IMO.

I thought I had related this story before but was unable to find it using the search function.
Years back I was working on an old large brick furniture storefront that had one time seen 4x8 sheets of cementboard covered with small diameter limestone screwed to the brick as a facade
and there were still the sheets on the corners of the building which the owner wanted removed.
I was down to the last sheet and it seemed as if there was still a hidden screw in the board as I couldn't get the sheet loose.
The screws had limestone glued on the screw heads so I took a wonderbar and was gently prying from behind to see where the screw might be
when the whole sheet came loose revealing the bug nests and stuff between the sheet and the brick but wouldn't fall the several inches it was held above the pavement.
Now what would be the total weight of a 4x8 sheet of cement board covered with small diameter limestone? I dunno but it was one heavy sucker and it was all I could do to move it around myself.
Somewhat amazed as I pried a bit more the whole sheet opened up as a door on a hinge to where I could open it to 90degrees and back as if I were opening and shutting a door
only the hinge was a thick bead of caulk on the outer edge of the cement board caulked to the brick!
It wasn't until I placed my weight on the upper outside corner of the sheet and hung there bouncing a bit that it finally dropped.
Be it Vulcum or whatever it was like 20years old or so and still pliable.
That day I was introduced to the power of a quality caulk.
The End
be no charge for that story

What is the problem there? I have not heard this one yet.
I don't run into many EPDM roof in residential, it's mostly used for commercial roofs around here.

Being a petroleum based product, bituminous will degrade EPDM. Vycor ULTRA is fine with EPDM, it's butyl based.
Isn't there a compatibility issue with red cedar and copper? Thought I heard that one time.

WOW!!! What a Ride!Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!
Gasoline plastic gas tanks recent cheaply made cans? Has anyone else noticed this?
No. They're fine.
Just don't fill one while it's sitting on the bedliner in your truck. The built-up static electricity can drastically increase the pucker factor.
I saw that on TV last week, BOOM
That was actually gas tanks; have a number of friends in the marine and fishing industry....Have repeatedly had problems with bad/stale fuel after as little as a month, due ( they surmise ) to ethanol in gas....Fresh fuel, they start right up. Doesn't seem to be a problem with metal tanks. I also read an article in a boaters mag re: gas deteriorating in plastic tanks.
I didn't make it up ;)
Bing
Hey Bing, I wasn't even thinking about that! A lot of boaters and boating mags are talking about it since E-10 started getting pushed. Here's my thoughts on that.
I think you're on the right track with Ethanol being a concern, but it's moreso that than the container material. It can soften cheap plastic and fiberglass, but that's but a very small part of the issue with it.
The bulk of that situation is ethanol's hydroscopic properties...it absorbs water at a much higher rate then straight gasoline, and it easily phase-separates...the water comes out of solution and pools at the bottom.
For these reasons it doesn't store well, regardless of container material...and you can imagine how much humidity it's exposed to in a marine environment!
Why more reported issues with plastic than metal? I've been thinkin on this...here's some ideas:
Gas cans: Easy one...there are 100 times more plastic gas cans in use then metal.
Fuel tanks: Metal ones are heavy, and usually only seen in larger boats. Those larger boats/ships are usually diesel powered.
Am I nuts?
The static electricity is built up by the gas flowing into the container. The container cant disapate the static buildup when its in a plastic bed liner. Put the container on the ground and you wont have a problem. Reminds me of an accident a few years ago..2 guys pouring a very volitile solvent out of a can into another. They were supposed to use a ground clip on the cans,didnt. The explosion/fire burned them and they died a few hours later. Sand flowing out of a dump truck will create static electricity. That is why you need to fill an old underground gas tank with CO2 before filling it with sand. According to the local fire marshall.
Yeah, we're on the same page regarding gas cans/bedliners/static.
Interesting about co2 before sand fill. Filling in an undergound gas tank is not something I've ever had to do, but I'm gonna file that sucker away for future use!

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm willing to bet that any quality urethane sealant would work just fine. Heck, PL probably packages it for them.
Just seems like a great way for Moistop to: A) Deny warrantee claims, knowing that most folks won't bother to spend more for theirs. B) Hose you into spending more if you care about their warrantee to begin with...which of course helps cover any warrantee claims they have to honor.
Not a material incompatability but one the local DIY'ers might want to take seriously to heart. Advice from big box employees... As I like to say, those who can do, those who can't work at big boxes.
Re: Moistop Vs. non-moistop sealants:
I was told it's a matter of the solvent, not the sealant itself. Supposedly they use a solvent compatible with their peel and stick, and other brands don't/may not.
Seems like they could just tell you which solvent, eh? I'll have to see if I can find that somewhere. I think the EU has more stringent disclosure laws, maybe there's something to be found there.
For instance, I believe NP1 has a different solvent than PL, though both are essentially high quality urethane after the solvent evaporates.

Ever look at the picture on the PDF for Shluters Ditra. It shows it being thin set onto an OSB floor. Thin set instructions say not to. Manufactures of different products are incompatible sometimes. Be nice if they had a chat. I follow the thin set instructions and not Ditras.
Thin set is fine for Ditra.The instructions do take soem study as they can be confusing though.Whether toi use modified oar unmodified depends on what the subnstrate is though. Always unmodified between the tile and the ditra.

Welcome to the Taunton University of Knowledge FHB Campus at Breaktime. where ... Excellence is its own reward!
Absolutely; unmodified thin-set will stick to the Fabric in Ditra just fine, It's the OSB substrates that Shluter says Ditra can be thin set to that I find funny. The thin set manufactures say you can't use thin set on OSB substrates. I use unmodified thin set to exterior grade ply or cement board (DuraRock) with Ditra or Protega.
I have seen in print where it is not recommended to use silicon caulk with aluminum flashing as it has been said to cause deterioration of the metal but I have not found it to be so
in that I personally have used 100% silicon caulk on aluminum flashing and gone back 5 years later, removed the flashing, and have found zero deterioration against the silicon.
In fact, beneath the silicon it was still as shiny in appearance as when it was first placed.
So I would not consider silicon and aluminum flashing to be incompatible materials.
Rez,I agree with you about silicone on aluminum.Silicone 1 on copper is bad; the acetic acid eats the copper. Silicone 2 on copper is okay. Both types of silicone work fine on aluminum, in my personal experience. It is done all the time in shower enclosures.Bill
Things that don't play well together,
Copper flashing and galv. or aluminium nails
Tyvek/typar and unprimed/backprimed cedar clapboards and shingles.
PVC products and sunlight unless it is the UV proof stuff.
And finally, extension cords and water.
Typar has never been included in the "tannins cause breakdown of the paper" argument as far as I'm aware. Tyvek has been the only mentioned brand.
Electricity vs. water
Laminate adhesive vs. plastic roller tray liner .

Wool clothing and pure Oxygen
Bill--
If that's not a joke, I need it explained pronto. (If it is, let me know, please.)
In the winter, I'm a pro ski patroller and we administer O² to accident victims quite often. Lots of skiers (including me) still wear wool clothing.
Over 15 years of doing this, and no problems have ever occurred. So what's the beef?
Dinosaur
How now, Mighty Sauron, that thou art not broughtlow by this? For thine evil pales before that whichfoolish men call Justice....
Wool clothing and pure Oxygen
Bill--
If that's not a joke, I need it explained pronto.
Hello Dino....
Remember your Jr. High Science experiments.... One I remember is when the teacher had a Pyrex wide mouth jar filled with Oxygen. The she took a small piece of plain steel wool and heated to glowing red over an open flame. As soon as it got red hot, she plunged it into the O-2 beaker.... The pure oxygen hit the red hot steel wool and it just FLASHED like those old flash bulbs!!
Guys that use Ox-Acetylene torches or welding have been taught;warned not to wear wool. When the sweater starts building a static electricity charge, the Oxygen is drawn to it as valves are opened and the torch is being lit or if there is any leak of the hose or the valves. When the sweater unknowingly builds enough static electricity to make a spark jump to anything metal, the oxygen that has collected on the sweater become the oxidizer and you and your wool becomes a flash fire exactly like the heated steel wool/Oxygen experiment...or the flash seen in your avatar....
My guess as to why you have become a human flash bulb is because the O-2 is being used outside where it gets a chance to dissipate.... Best tighten up your safety procedure if you are wearing wool and using oxygen inside an ambulance or small enclosed building.
Same thing pertains to filling you car with gasoline, getting back in, and sliding out of the seat as it fills up while wearing nylon or WOOL... The static spark ignites the gasoline vapors...as seen on several newscasts....
Glad you asked, I just might have helped prevent an accident.

Bill
Are you actually providing PURE oxygen to accident victims? It seems to me that air with a much higher percentage of oxygen could be useful, but does it really need to be 100%?
Yes. Victims in shock, or suffering from any type of respiratory difficulty, or suffering from a concussion, get pure O². We use 100% masks, but generally pull one of the rebreather valves during sled transport as a safety measure in case the bottle goes dry during the trip down. That'll knock the effective delivery concentration down a bit but not so's you're gonna notice any difference on a ski hill.
We start with a debit of 10 litres per minute and go up to 25 lpm according to the FiO² requirements of the victim. (Of course, at that rate, an E-type bottle doesn't last very long.)
Dinosaur
How now, Mighty Sauron, that thou art not broughtlow by this? For thine evil pales before that whichfoolish men call Justice....
Bill, with all due respect, that sounds like a real stretch.
I can see static sparks causing flashover at the fuel filler door because it supports 1 very important requirement: Concentration of vapors. Just like in the beaker(with steel wool-which has no wool in it of course), but very unlike on your sweater. If you're in an environment O2 rich enough to support combustion, you've got much bigger concerns than whether your clothing is wool.
Here, what do you make of this?:
Protective Clothing -- According to ANSI Z49.1.88-Welding and Cutting (4.3), appropriate protective clothing for any welding and cutting operation will vary with the size nature and location of the work to be performed. Clothing shall provide sufficient coverage and be made of suitable materials to minimize skin burns caused by sparks, spatter or radiation. covering all parts of the body is recommended to protect against ultraviolet and infrared ray flash burn.
Dark clothing works best to reduce reflection under the face shield. Heavier materials such as wool clothing, heavy cotton or leather are preferred as they resist deterioration. Materials that can melt or can cause severe burn due to sparks that may lodge in rolled-up sleeves, pockets of clothing or pant cuffs are not recommended.

Hey, lets find out more!!
I'd think the usage of "wool clothing" in the way they say use it, might be that it's worn under or inside an outer layer of cotton/canvas/Kaki woven material..

"Wool clothing and pure Oxygen"Wool is also a great insulator because it traps air in pockets within the fibers. If O2 is given to a patient wearing wool the O2 can become concentrated in the air pockets. Patient lights up a smoke and the rest is history. Of course it can collect in your hair and cause the same thing. I don't think you should forgo giving someone oxygen just cause they are wearing Wool though. Someone mentioned the wool clothing for welders as well which sounds reasonable, of course a burner / welder is using the O2 as it comes out of the torch etc so it really is not accumulating anyway.

9mm and Great Stuff. I had some old cans that had lost their propellent but still had the Stuff in them. "Why not shoot them and see what happens?" Well, I'll tell you what happens. You get Great Stuff all over God's green earth for twenty feet around and as you already know it doesn't deteriorate. Took a long time to clean up that mess.
Great Stuff. I had some old cans that had lost their propellent
I've found that those cans don't lose their propellent, it's the plastic valve that won't let the foam out... It seems that towards the end of the shelf life, "use by" date, the valve blocks and locks the product inside the can.
I've toyed with the idea of getting one of those old style Freon rings that tap into the side of the can. It would be one of those issues where you'd better use every can you've got because the foam is going to harden in the valve and the hose because there's nothing I know of that cuts that foam except the cleanup pads that same company sells....
I just don't know what will happen once the side of the can is punctured.... I can guess... ;>0
Bill
There's one way to find out and you just got elected. Let us know how it turned out.
I don't like to dispose of cans with any sort of propellant simply because it is usually butane, and it occasionally finds its way into t a jobsite trash fire. ( we try to separate clean wood debris from ####, but you know how it is with some helpers - easy way is the best way)so I had a can of something ( IIRC it was fuel from a Paslode gun) explode in the fire, and shrapnel sail an inch over the dog's head, cutting the air with a a whistle....Anyhow, I always puncture cans now before they go in the trash can. With foam you want to be wearing gloves and have it facing away from you into the container or a safe spot of soil. I get some interesting 'sculptures', usually about size of a man's head.

With foam you want to be wearing gloves and have it facing away from you into the container or a safe spot
I was insulating my workshop, I had on goggles, gloves, a paper dust mask, and long sleeves. When I was filling some gaps between the foam sheeting and the 90-degree wall corner, I came up on an older can of that red;yellow can of foam. I tried getting a bad valve working by banging it against the wall stud... I got it working, but the sideways glance sent a burst of that foam on the right side of my goggles... Man, was I lucky they kept the stuff out of my eyes!!!
A few days earlier, I was checking out of a Walmart. When the older checker saw the cans of that brand of foam she commented: "My son does work for a lab. They had run some tests on the chemicals in that stuff. He told me that you don't want any of that getting in contact with your skin because it absorbs some really strange and strong chemicals..."
If I can, guess I'll stick with the waterbased foam sold by Dap. ;>)
