Product Overview
Methylcyclopentane is a high-purity, cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon solvent widely used in laboratory settings due to its low polarity and excellent solvency properties. This clear, colorless liquid is characterized by its stability, making it a preferred choice for applications requiring precise and reproducible results. With a boiling point of approximately 72°C, it evaporates cleanly, leaving minimal residue, which is critical for sensitive analytical procedures. Its chemical structure, featuring a methyl group attached to a cyclopentane ring, ensures compatibility with a broad range of organic compounds, enhancing its versatility in various laboratory processes. The laboratory-grade purity of this solvent guarantees minimal impurities, reducing the risk of contamination in experimental setups. Whether used as a reaction medium, extraction solvent, or mobile phase in chromatography, Methylcyclopentane delivers consistent performance, supporting accurate and reliable outcomes in research and testing environments.
FAQs
1. What is the boiling point of Methylcyclopentane?
The boiling point of Methylcyclopentane is approximately 72°C, making it suitable for applications requiring moderate evaporation rates.
2. Is Methylcyclopentane compatible with polar solvents?
Methylcyclopentane is a non-polar solvent and is generally immiscible with highly polar solvents like water but can be mixed with other non-polar or moderately polar organic solvents.
3. Can Methylcyclopentane be used as a substitute for Hexane?
Yes, Methylcyclopentane can often be used as an alternative to Hexane in applications where a slightly higher boiling point and different solvency properties are acceptable.
4. How should Methylcyclopentane be stored for long-term use?
Store Methylcyclopentane in a tightly sealed container, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and ignition points, in a well-ventilated area to maintain its purity and stability.
5. What safety precautions should be taken when handling Methylcyclopentane?
Use Methylcyclopentane in a fume hood or well-ventilated area, wear appropriate protective gear, and avoid inhalation or skin contact, as it is flammable and may cause irritation.
