Product Overview

Acetaldehyde, 99.5% extra pure, AcroSeal® is a high-quality, low-impurity reagent designed for precision in laboratory applications. This colorless liquid, with its characteristic pungent odor, serves as a critical building block in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of acetic acid, pyridine derivatives, and various aldehyde-based compounds. The extra pure grade ensures minimal interference from impurities, making it suitable for sensitive analytical procedures and research requiring high reproducibility. Packaged in AcroSeal® bottles, this reagent offers enhanced stability and reduced risk of contamination, preserving its integrity over extended storage periods. Its versatility extends to roles as a solvent, reducing agent, and intermediate in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis. The 99.5% purity level meets stringent lab standards, ensuring consistent performance in reactions where trace impurities could compromise results. Whether used in small-scale experiments or larger batch processes, this acetaldehyde variant delivers reliability for chemists and researchers demanding precision.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of Acetaldehyde 99.5% extra pure, AcroSeal® when stored properly?

The shelf life is typically 12–24 months when stored in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and ignition sources. The AcroSeal® packaging helps extend stability by minimizing exposure to moisture and air.

2. Is this acetaldehyde compatible with standard glass labware, or are special materials required?

It is compatible with borosilicate glass and PTFE-lined containers. Avoid prolonged contact with metals like copper or brass, as it may react or corrode over time. Always use in a fume hood due to its volatile nature.

3. Are there lower-purity alternatives to this extra pure grade for cost-sensitive applications?

Yes, technical-grade acetaldehyde (typically 95–98% purity) is available for industrial or large-scale applications where minor impurities are acceptable. However, extra pure grade is recommended for analytical or research use.

4. How should spills of Acetaldehyde 99.5% be handled in a lab setting?

Absorb spills immediately with inert materials like sand or vermiculite, then neutralize with a dilute sodium bisulfite solution. Avoid water, as it may spread the spill. Ensure proper ventilation and use PPE during cleanup.

5. Does this product require any special documentation for purchase in India?

For individual buyers, no special permits are needed, but institutional purchases may require a valid lab affiliation or end-use declaration due to its regulated status as a precursor chemical.
