Product Overview
Ethanolamine AR is a premium-grade amino alcohol widely used in laboratory settings for its high purity and consistent performance. This analytical reagent (AR) grade chemical ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for critical applications where precision is paramount. Ethanolamine, also known as 2-aminoethanol, exhibits excellent solubility in water and organic solvents, making it versatile for various chemical processes. Its ability to act as a weak base and nucleophile enhances its utility in synthesis reactions, while its buffering capacity is valuable in maintaining stable pH levels in solutions. The liquid form of Ethanolamine AR allows for easy handling and accurate dispensing, reducing the risk of contamination. Whether used as a solvent, reagent, or intermediate, this chemical delivers reliable results in research and development environments. The 500 ml pack size provides an optimal balance between quantity and convenience, catering to both small-scale experiments and larger batch preparations. Store in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances to maintain its integrity over time.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Ethanolamine AR when stored properly?
When stored in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, Ethanolamine AR typically maintains its stability for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Is Ethanolamine AR compatible with glass containers for long-term storage?
Yes, Ethanolamine AR can be safely stored in glass containers, as it does not react with glass under normal conditions. However, ensure the container is airtight to prevent moisture absorption.
3. Can Ethanolamine AR be used as a substitute for triethanolamine in certain applications?
While both are amino alcohols, Ethanolamine AR and triethanolamine have different chemical properties. Ethanolamine AR is more suitable for applications requiring a primary amine, whereas triethanolamine is often used for its buffering and emulsifying properties.
4. What precautions should be taken while handling Ethanolamine AR?
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, goggles, and a lab coat, as Ethanolamine AR can cause skin and eye irritation. Work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling vapors.
5. How does the purity of Ethanolamine AR compare to technical-grade ethanolamine?
Ethanolamine AR is significantly purer than technical-grade ethanolamine, with impurities strictly controlled to meet analytical standards. This makes it more reliable for sensitive laboratory applications.
