Product Overview

Epichlorohydrin, 99% pure, is a highly reactive organochlorine compound supplied in AcroSeal® packaging to ensure stability and minimal contamination. This colorless liquid is widely recognized for its role as a key intermediate in the production of epoxy resins, synthetic glycerin, and elastomers. Its high purity level (99%) makes it suitable for precise laboratory applications where consistency and reactivity are critical. The AcroSeal® packaging provides an additional layer of protection against moisture and oxidation, extending shelf life and maintaining product integrity. With a boiling point of 116°C and a density of 1.18 g/cm³, this chemical offers excellent solubility in most organic solvents while remaining immiscible in water. Its low viscosity and high volatility require proper handling and storage in a well-ventilated area. The compound’s molecular structure (C₃H₅ClO) enables efficient participation in ring-opening reactions, making it indispensable in polymer chemistry and pharmaceutical synthesis.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of Epichlorohydrin, 99%, in AcroSeal® packaging?

The shelf life is typically 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and incompatible materials.

2. Is this Epichlorohydrin compatible with glass containers for long-term storage?

Yes, it can be stored in glass containers, but ensure they are tightly sealed and made of borosilicate glass to prevent reactions with the chemical over time.

3. Are there any safer alternatives to Epichlorohydrin for epoxy resin synthesis?

Alternatives like bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE) or aliphatic glycidyl ethers can be used, but they may alter the final properties of the resin.
