FAQs

1. What is the difference between Puratronic™ grade and standard aluminum chloride hexahydrate?

Puratronic™ grade undergoes additional purification steps to achieve 99.9995% purity on a metals basis, with significantly lower levels of trace metal impurities compared to standard grades which typically range between 98-99% purity.

2. How should this product be stored to maintain its purity?

Store in a tightly sealed container under dry, inert atmosphere conditions. The product is highly hygroscopic and should be protected from moisture exposure to prevent hydrolysis and degradation of purity.

3. What type of container is recommended for long-term storage?

Use airtight containers made of high-density polyethylene or glass with PTFE-lined caps. Avoid metal containers that could introduce contaminants through corrosion or ion leaching.

4. Is this product compatible with standard laboratory glassware?

Yes, it is compatible with borosilicate glassware, though prolonged exposure to aqueous solutions may etch glass surfaces. For critical applications, consider using PTFE or other chemically resistant containers.

5. What documentation is provided with each batch?

Each batch includes a certificate of analysis detailing the exact purity levels, trace metal impurities, and other relevant quality control parameters measured through ICP-MS and other advanced analytical techniques.
