Product Overview
Benzyl Benzoate LR is a high-purity laboratory reagent designed for precision applications in chemical synthesis, microscopy, and solvent-based experiments. This clear, colorless liquid exhibits excellent stability and low volatility, making it a reliable choice for consistent results in controlled environments. With a purity level of 99%, it ensures minimal impurities that could interfere with sensitive reactions or analytical procedures. The compound’s unique ester structure provides compatibility with a wide range of organic solvents while maintaining chemical integrity under standard lab conditions. Its refractive index and density properties make it particularly useful in optical applications and as a standard reference material. The LR grade designation guarantees adherence to laboratory reagent specifications, offering researchers confidence in experimental reproducibility. This versatile chemical serves as both a primary reagent and a secondary component in complex formulations, adapting to diverse experimental protocols without compromising performance.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Benzyl Benzoate LR when stored properly?
When stored in a tightly sealed container away from direct sunlight and moisture, Benzyl Benzoate LR maintains its specified purity for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Can this product be used as a substitute for other benzoate esters in formulations?
While chemically similar, Benzyl Benzoate LR has distinct physical properties compared to other benzoate esters, particularly in terms of volatility and solubility profiles, which may affect formulation performance.
3. What type of container material is recommended for long-term storage?
Amber glass bottles with PTFE-lined caps are ideal for long-term storage as they prevent both light exposure and potential leaching from plastic containers.
4. How does the LR grade differ from technical or pharmaceutical grades?
The LR grade is specifically purified to meet laboratory reagent standards, with tighter controls on trace impurities compared to technical grade, but without the additional documentation required for pharmaceutical applications.
5. What safety precautions should be taken when handling this chemical?
Standard laboratory safety measures including gloves, goggles, and adequate ventilation are recommended, as Benzyl Benzoate LR may cause mild skin irritation and has a low but noticeable vapor pressure at room temperature.
