Product Name – Dichloromethane 99.5% AR/ACS Quantity/Pack Size – 500 ml, 2500 ml Form – Liquid Grade – AR/ACS Application – Solvent, extractions, chromatography
Product Overview
Dichloromethane 99.5% AR/ACS is a high-purity, volatile solvent widely used in laboratories for its excellent solvency and low boiling point. This grade ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for critical applications like organic synthesis, extractions, and chromatographic separations. Its low moisture content prevents unwanted side reactions, ensuring consistent results. The solvent is non-flammable but requires proper ventilation due to its vapor density. Packaged in leak-proof, amber bottles to prevent photodegradation, it maintains stability during storage. Compatible with most organic compounds, it dissolves polar and non-polar substances efficiently. Ideal for research and analytical labs, this dichloromethane variant adheres to stringent AR/ACS standards, guaranteeing reliability for sensitive procedures. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its integrity.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of dichloromethane 99.5% AR/ACS?
When stored in tightly sealed containers under recommended conditions, it remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Can this dichloromethane be used for HPLC applications?
Yes, its high purity (99.5% AR/ACS) makes it suitable for HPLC and other chromatographic techniques requiring low-interference solvents.
3. Is this solvent compatible with plastic containers?
Dichloromethane can degrade certain plastics. Use glass or HDPE containers for long-term storage to avoid contamination.
4. What safety precautions should be taken while handling?
Wear gloves, goggles, and work in a fume hood due to its volatile nature. Avoid inhalation and skin contact.
5. Are there alternatives for less hazardous solvents?
For less toxic options, consider ethyl acetate or acetone, though they may not match dichloromethane’s solvency for all applications.
