Product Name – Tetrahydrofuran, 99.85%, Extra Dry, Unstabilized, AcroSeal® Quantity/Pack Size – 100ML, 1LT, 2.5LT Form – Liquid Grade – Extra Dry, Unstabilized Application – Solvent for polymerization, Grignard reactions, HPLC

Product Overview

This 99.85% pure tetrahydrofuran (THF) represents the highest grade of solvent available for critical laboratory applications. The extra dry formulation is achieved through rigorous purification processes that remove water and peroxide impurities to levels below 50ppm, making it ideal for moisture-sensitive reactions. The unstabilized nature ensures no interfering additives that could compromise reaction outcomes. Packaged in AcroSeal® containers with PTFE-lined caps, this THF maintains its exceptional purity throughout storage and use. The solvent’s low UV absorbance (≤0.05 at 254nm) and minimal residue content (≤10ppm) make it particularly suitable for analytical techniques like HPLC and GC. The glass packaging provides chemical resistance while the tamper-evident seal guarantees product integrity. Each batch undergoes comprehensive quality control testing including GC analysis, Karl Fischer titration, and peroxide value determination to ensure consistent performance. The solvent’s 0.785g/mL density and 66°C boiling point provide predictable behavior in laboratory protocols.

FAQs

1. What is the water content specification for this extra dry THF?

The water content is maintained below 50ppm through molecular sieve treatment during packaging.

2. Can this unstabilized THF be used for long-term storage?

While the AcroSeal® packaging extends shelf life, unstabilized THF should ideally be used within 6 months of opening for optimal performance.

3. What makes this THF different from standard laboratory grade?

The 99.85% purity level, extra dry specification, and absence of stabilizers distinguish it from standard grades that typically contain 250ppm water and BHT stabilizer.
