I don’t know if there’s any other indicator that would be needed other than the indication of this green flame color produced by the presence of organic halides:
- Sodium chloride (NaCl)
- Potassium chloride (KCl)
- Potassium iodide (KI)
- Lithium chloride (LiCl)
- Copper(II) chloride (CuCl2)
- Silver chloride (AgCl)
- Calcium chloride (CaCl2)
- Chlorine fluoride (ClF)
- Bromomethane (CH3Br)
- Iodoform (CHI3)
- Hydrogen chloride (HCl)
Halogen refers to those elements in the seventeenth column of the periodic table, fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), and astatine (At). Halogenated refers to a chemical compound or mixture that contains halogen atoms. And finally, halide refers to the monoanionic (one negative charge) form of a halogen atom, specifically, fluoride (F-), chloride (Cl-), bromide (Br-) and iodide (I-).
Avoid the following Fluoropolymers and Chloropolymers:
- PVC
- Neoprene
- Chlorinated Rubber
- Chlorinated Polyethylene (UV Resistant???)
- Teflon
- Tefzel
- Halar
- CTFE
- Tedlar
- Kynar
In my research i also found that Trotec advises against the following materials:
Materials containing chromium (some leathers and fake leathers)
- Carbon Fibers
- PVB
- Beryllium Oxide
