Product Overview
Benzene is a high-purity, colorless, and highly flammable aromatic hydrocarbon widely used in laboratory settings. As an AR (Analytical Reagent) Grade solvent, it ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for precise analytical applications, organic synthesis, and chromatography. Its low polarity and excellent solvency properties allow it to dissolve a wide range of organic compounds, facilitating efficient extraction and purification processes. Benzene’s stability under standard conditions and compatibility with various reagents make it a preferred choice for reactions requiring a non-polar solvent. However, due to its toxic and carcinogenic nature, proper handling with adequate ventilation and protective equipment is essential. This product adheres to stringent quality standards, ensuring consistent performance in critical laboratory procedures. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources and incompatible substances like strong oxidizers. The packaging is designed to prevent leakage and contamination, maintaining the integrity of the solvent until use.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Benzene AR Grade?
When stored in a tightly sealed container under recommended conditions, Benzene AR Grade typically retains its purity for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Can Benzene be used as a substitute for Toluene in reactions?
While Benzene and Toluene share similar solvent properties, they are not always interchangeable due to differences in reactivity, boiling points, and toxicity profiles. Always verify compatibility with your specific application.
3. What precautions should be taken while handling Benzene?
Use Benzene in a fume hood or well-ventilated area, wear nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Avoid inhalation, skin contact, and ingestion, as it is a known carcinogen and toxic substance.
4. Is this Benzene suitable for HPLC applications?
Yes, AR Grade Benzene is highly purified and suitable for HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) as long as it meets the residual impurity requirements of your specific method.
5. How should Benzene waste be disposed of?
Benzene waste must be collected in approved containers and disposed of according to local hazardous waste regulations. Do not pour it down drains or mix it with general waste.
