Product Overview
Benzene 99% Extra Pure is a high-grade aromatic hydrocarbon widely used in laboratory settings for its exceptional purity and solvent properties. This colorless liquid offers a non-polar, hydrophobic nature, making it ideal for dissolving non-polar compounds and facilitating precise chemical reactions. With a boiling point of 80.1°C and a density of 0.8765 g/cm³, it ensures consistent performance in various applications. Its high volatility and low viscosity allow for efficient evaporation, reducing residue formation. The extra pure grade minimizes impurities, ensuring reliable results in analytical procedures and synthesis. Benzene’s stability under standard conditions further enhances its utility in long-term storage and repeated use. Proper handling is essential due to its flammability and potential health hazards, requiring adequate ventilation and protective equipment. This product is meticulously tested to meet stringent quality standards, guaranteeing reproducibility in experimental outcomes.
