Product Overview
Benzaldehyde, 99.5% pure and redistilled, is a high-quality aromatic aldehyde widely used in laboratory settings for its consistent performance and reliability. This AcroSeal®-packaged product ensures minimal exposure to moisture and contaminants, preserving its purity for critical applications. The redistillation process enhances its clarity and reduces impurities, making it suitable for sensitive reactions and precise analytical work. Its sharp, almond-like odor is characteristic of its chemical structure, which includes a benzene ring attached to a formyl group. The liquid form allows for easy handling and precise measurement in experimental setups. Whether used as a solvent, intermediate, or reagent, this benzaldehyde variant meets stringent quality standards, ensuring reproducible results in research and development environments. The AcroSeal® packaging further extends shelf life by preventing oxidation and degradation, making it a cost-effective choice for long-term storage.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this benzaldehyde?
When stored in its original AcroSeal® packaging at room temperature, this benzaldehyde maintains its purity for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture. Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent oxidation.
2. Is this benzaldehyde compatible with glassware?
Yes, it is fully compatible with standard borosilicate glassware. However, avoid prolonged contact with plastics or rubber, as it may cause degradation or leaching over time.
3. Can this be used as a substitute for synthetic almond extract?
While chemically similar, this product is lab-grade and not food-safe. For culinary applications, use food-grade benzaldehyde specifically labeled for consumption.
4. How should I dispose of unused benzaldehyde?
Follow local hazardous waste disposal guidelines. Neutralize small quantities with a suitable oxidizing agent before disposal, or contact a licensed chemical waste handler for larger volumes.
5. Does this product contain any stabilizers?
No, this benzaldehyde is pure and redistilled without added stabilizers. The AcroSeal® packaging itself acts as a protective barrier against degradation.
