Product Overview
Dichloromethane 99% (DCM) is a high-purity, synthesis-grade solvent renowned for its excellent solvency power and low boiling point (39.6°C). This colorless, volatile liquid is widely used in laboratories for its ability to dissolve a broad range of organic compounds without leaving significant residues. Its high volatility ensures rapid evaporation, making it ideal for applications requiring quick drying, such as thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and sample preparation. The 99% purity level minimizes impurities, ensuring reliable and reproducible results in sensitive analytical and synthetic procedures. DCM’s polar aprotic nature enhances its effectiveness in extracting non-polar to moderately polar compounds, while its miscibility with most organic solvents allows for versatile use in multi-solvent systems. Stored in amber glass bottles, this product is protected from light-induced degradation, preserving its stability and performance. Whether used as a reaction medium, extraction solvent, or cleaning agent, this synthesis-grade dichloromethane delivers consistent performance for demanding laboratory workflows.
FAQs
1. What is the boiling point of this dichloromethane grade?
The boiling point of dichloromethane 99% is approximately 39.6°C, enabling rapid evaporation in laboratory applications.
2. Is this DCM suitable for HPLC or GC analysis?
While primarily labeled for synthesis, this 99% purity grade can be used in preparative chromatography but may require further purification for ultra-sensitive HPLC/GC applications.
3. Can it be used as a substitute for chloroform in extractions?
Yes, dichloromethane is often preferred over chloroform due to its lower toxicity and comparable solvency for many organic compounds.
4. How should this solvent be stored to maintain stability?
Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and ignition sources. Keep the bottle tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and evaporation.
5. Does this product contain any stabilizers or additives?
This synthesis-grade dichloromethane is free from added stabilizers, ensuring minimal interference in chemical reactions or analyses.
