Glucose Solution Caster Compatibility

Chemical Overview

Molecular Formula: C₆H₁₂O₆ (in aqueous solution)

Physical Properties: Glucose solution is a clear, sweet liquid with a density of ~1.1-1.3 g/cm³ depending on concentration. It is non-corrosive and neutral. (Source: PubChem)

Industrial Applications

Glucose solution is used in food processing, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology. Caster wheels may be exposed in food production or medical facilities.

Wheel Material Compatibility Summary

Best Suited (A/B): All listed materials are highly resistant to glucose solution due to its non-reactive nature.

Avoid (C/D): No materials are significantly affected; all are suitable.
