Here's my completely non-official explanation.

You see, the chemical weapons in question were being developed at a secret laboratory on the Northern Frontier. The Northern Frontier is the middle of nowhere; why would the Empire put a critical military resource in a location so far from where it would be needed? Well, the Northern Frontier is known to be infested with sandworms, who have saliva that has remarkably similar properties to the chemical weapons from the lab. So I'm guessing that the chemical weapons are somehow derived from sandworm saliva, so they'd need a steady supply of sandworms from the frontier to keep production running.

So it's corrosive because sandworms have corrosive spit, and sandworms aren't real, so Z2Live can do that if they want. .
