Product Overview
Cyclopentane, 95+%, Extra Dry is a high-purity aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent designed for applications demanding minimal moisture content. The extra dry grade ensures less than 50 ppm water content, making it suitable for moisture-sensitive reactions and processes. This product is packaged under nitrogen in AcroSeal® bottles, which feature a unique sealing technology that prevents atmospheric contamination and extends shelf life. The cyclopentane’s low boiling point (49°C) and excellent solvency properties make it a preferred choice for various laboratory applications. The product undergoes rigorous quality control to maintain consistent purity levels, with gas chromatography verification ensuring the 95%+ purity specification. The AcroSeal® packaging system provides an additional layer of protection against oxygen and moisture ingress, preserving the solvent’s integrity during storage and handling. This combination of high purity and advanced packaging makes this cyclopentane product particularly valuable for applications where solvent quality directly impacts experimental outcomes.
FAQs
1. What does “extra dry” mean in this cyclopentane product?
The “extra dry” designation indicates this cyclopentane contains less than 50 ppm water content, achieved through specialized drying processes and verified by Karl Fischer titration.
2. How does AcroSeal® packaging benefit this solvent?
AcroSeal® packaging uses a unique bottle and cap design that creates a positive pressure seal, preventing air and moisture from entering while allowing controlled dispensing without contamination.
3. What’s the typical shelf life for this product?
When stored unopened in its original AcroSeal® packaging at room temperature, this cyclopentane maintains its specified purity for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.
4. Can this cyclopentane be used with standard laboratory glassware?
Yes, this product is compatible with standard borosilicate glass laboratory apparatus, though we recommend using glassware specifically designed for volatile solvents to minimize evaporation losses.
5. What’s the difference between this and reagent-grade cyclopentane?
This extra dry grade has stricter moisture specifications (less than 50 ppm water) compared to standard reagent grades, which typically allow up to 100 ppm water content, making it more suitable for moisture-sensitive applications.
