Product Overview
Tetrahydrofuran (THF), 99.85% purity, Extra Dry, and stabilized, is a high-performance solvent designed for critical laboratory applications. Its ultra-low water content (<50 ppm) ensures minimal interference in moisture-sensitive reactions, making it ideal for polymerization, chromatography, and organic synthesis. The AcroSeal® packaging guarantees long-term stability by preventing moisture absorption and contamination, preserving the solvent’s integrity until use. This grade of THF is stabilized with BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) to inhibit peroxide formation, enhancing safety and shelf life. Its low UV absorbance and high volatility make it a preferred choice for HPLC, GC, and other analytical techniques requiring high-purity solvents. The solvent’s excellent solvating power for polar and nonpolar compounds further broadens its utility in extraction, purification, and formulation processes. Whether used in research or industrial labs, this THF variant delivers consistent performance with batch-to-batch reliability, backed by rigorous quality control.
FAQs
