Product Overview
Ethyl formate, 98%+ purity in Extra Dry grade, is a high-quality solvent designed for critical laboratory applications where moisture contamination is a concern. The AcroSeal® packaging ensures long-term stability by minimizing exposure to atmospheric moisture, making it ideal for sensitive reactions and analytical procedures. This compound exhibits a low boiling point (54°C) and excellent volatility, facilitating efficient evaporation in sample preparation and extraction processes. Its ester functional group contributes to selective solubility properties, enabling precise separation in chromatographic techniques. The Extra Dry designation guarantees minimal water content (<50 ppm), which is essential for reactions involving moisture-sensitive reagents or catalysts. The 100ML pack size provides an optimal balance between sufficient quantity for multiple experiments and minimal waste from unused material. This product undergoes rigorous quality control to meet analytical-grade standards, ensuring consistent performance in research and development environments.
FAQs
1. What is the significance of the Extra Dry grade in this ethyl formate?
The Extra Dry grade indicates that this ethyl formate contains extremely low moisture levels, typically below 50 ppm. This is crucial for applications where water could interfere with reactions or compromise analytical results.
2. How does AcroSeal® packaging benefit this product?
AcroSeal® packaging uses a specialized bottle design with a resealable septum that prevents moisture ingress and minimizes solvent evaporation, maintaining the product’s purity throughout its shelf life.
3. Can this ethyl formate be used as a substitute for ethyl acetate in certain applications?
While both are esters, ethyl formate has a lower boiling point and different polarity compared to ethyl acetate. It can sometimes be used as an alternative, but compatibility should be verified based on specific application requirements.
4. What is the typical shelf life of this product when stored properly?
When stored unopened in its original AcroSeal® packaging at room temperature, this ethyl formate maintains its specifications for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.
5. Are there any special storage requirements for this chemical?
Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from ignition sources and incompatible materials. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and solvent loss.
