Product Name – Calcium iodide hydrate, Puratronic™, 99.9965% (metals basis) Quantity/Pack Size – 25g, 5g Form – Hydrated crystalline powder Grade – Puratronic™ (99.9965% metals basis) Application – Trace metal analysis, semiconductor research, high-purity synthesis
Product Overview
This Puratronic™ calcium iodide hydrate delivers exceptional purity at 99.9965% (metals basis), making it one of the most refined grades available for demanding laboratory applications. The hydrated crystalline form ensures stability while maintaining ultra-low trace metal contamination, critical for applications where even ppb-level impurities can compromise results. Unlike standard reagent grades, this material undergoes rigorous purification processes to eliminate metallic contaminants, providing consistent performance in sensitive analytical techniques. The hydrate form offers enhanced solubility in polar solvents compared to anhydrous alternatives, facilitating precise solution preparation. Its tightly controlled moisture content prevents deliquescence during storage while maintaining batch-to-batch consistency. The material’s high assay purity is verified through ICP-MS analysis, with certification documentation available for quality assurance. Packaged under inert conditions to prevent oxidation, this product arrives in airtight containers that preserve its pristine condition until use.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between Puratronic™ and standard reagent-grade calcium iodide?
Puratronic™ undergoes additional purification steps to achieve 99.9965% metals basis purity, with significantly lower trace metal contaminants than standard reagent grades which typically contain higher levels of impurities.
2. Can this product be used for semiconductor applications?
The ultra-low metal content and high purity make it suitable for semiconductor research applications where trace metal contamination must be minimized.
3. What is the typical moisture content in this hydrate form?
The product contains a precisely controlled amount of crystallization water, typically between 5-8% by weight, which is specified in the certificate of analysis.
4. How should this be stored to maintain its purity?
Store in the original sealed container under dry, inert conditions at room temperature to prevent moisture absorption and potential oxidation.
5. Is this product compatible with common organic solvents?
It exhibits good solubility in polar organic solvents like alcohols and acetone, though solubility may vary depending on the specific solvent system and concentration requirements.
