Product Overview

2-Chloroethanol 99.5% AR is a high-purity, analytical-grade solvent designed for precision applications in laboratory settings. This colorless liquid exhibits excellent reactivity due to its chloro and hydroxyl functional groups, making it a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis. With a purity level of 99.5%, it ensures minimal impurities, which is critical for accurate experimental results. The AR grade designation confirms its suitability for analytical procedures where consistency and reliability are paramount. Its low viscosity and miscibility with water and organic solvents enhance its utility in extraction processes and as a reaction medium. The compound’s stability under standard storage conditions (cool, dry environments) further extends its shelf life, reducing waste in research workflows. As a halogenated alcohol, it serves as a key building block in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and polymer synthesis pathways. The 500 ml and 2500 ml pack sizes cater to both small-scale experiments and bulk requirements, offering flexibility for diverse lab operations. Always handle with care, as its corrosive and toxic properties necessitate proper protective measures during usage and disposal.

FAQs

1

What is the shelf life of 2-Chloroethanol 99.5% AR when stored properly?

Stored in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight, this product retains its specified purity for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture. 2

Is this product compatible with glass containers for long-term storage?

Yes, 2-Chloroethanol can be stored in glass containers, but ensure they are chemically resistant and properly sealed to prevent contamination or evaporation. 3

What safety precautions should be taken while handling this chemical?

Wear nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Work in a fume hood due to its toxic and corrosive nature, and avoid inhalation or skin contact. 4

Can this grade be used for HPLC or GC analysis?

While AR grade is high purity, for HPLC or GC, a dedicated HPLC/GC-grade solvent is recommended to avoid interference from residual impurities. 5

What is the typical lead time for bulk orders of 2500 ml packs?

Bulk orders are typically dispatched within 3-5 business days, depending on inventory levels and location within India.
