Product Overview
Aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃) at 99.99% purity (trace metal basis) is a highly refined, extra pure grade designed for demanding laboratory applications. This ultra-pure form exhibits exceptional thermal stability, making it suitable for high-temperature processes without decomposition. Its high surface area and porosity enhance its effectiveness as a catalyst support or adsorbent in chromatography. The material demonstrates excellent chemical resistance, ensuring reliability in corrosive environments. With minimal trace metal impurities, it provides consistent performance in analytical and synthesis workflows. The powder form allows for easy handling and precise dosing in experimental setups. This grade is particularly valued for its uniformity and reproducibility in research settings.
FAQs
1. What is the particle size distribution of this aluminium oxide?
The particle size typically ranges between 50-150 microns, though exact distribution may vary slightly between batches.
2. Can this be used as a desiccant?
While it has moisture-absorbing properties, this high-purity grade is primarily designed for analytical applications rather than bulk desiccation.
3. How does this compare to activated alumina?
This product has higher purity and lower surface area compared to activated alumina, making it more suitable for precision applications.
4. What is the recommended storage condition?
Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight.
5. Is this product suitable for thin-layer chromatography?
Yes, its high purity and consistent particle size make it appropriate for TLC applications.
