Product Overview
1,3-Dioxolane, 99.5% purity with stabilizer, is a high-performance cyclic acetal widely used in laboratory settings for its exceptional solvent properties and reactivity. This stabilized grade ensures minimal degradation during storage and handling, making it a reliable choice for sensitive applications. Its low viscosity and high boiling point (75°C) provide versatility in organic synthesis, particularly in polymerization reactions and as a solvent for resins, coatings, and adhesives. The stabilizer prevents peroxide formation, enhancing safety and shelf life. Compatible with a wide range of organic compounds, it serves as a key intermediate in pharmaceutical and specialty chemical production. The product is packaged under inert conditions to maintain purity and prevent contamination, ensuring consistent performance in critical lab procedures.
FAQs
1. What is the purpose of stabilization in 1,3-Dioxolane?
Stabilization prevents peroxide formation, which can occur over time due to exposure to air or light, ensuring safer handling and longer shelf life.
2. Can this grade be used for polymerization reactions?
Yes, the 99.5% purity and stabilized formulation make it suitable for polymerization, offering consistent results without unwanted side reactions.
3. Is this product compatible with common lab solvents?
It is miscible with most organic solvents like ethanol, acetone, and dichloromethane, but compatibility should be verified for specific mixtures.
4. How should 1,3-Dioxolane be stored to maintain purity?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, preferably under an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation.
5. Are there any alternatives to 1,3-Dioxolane for similar applications?
Alternatives like tetrahydrofuran (THF) or dioxane may be considered, but their reactivity and solvent properties differ, so suitability depends on the specific use case.
