Product Name – Ethyl acetate, 99.9%, Extra Dry over Molecular Sieve, AcroSeal® Quantity/Pack Size – 100ML, 1LT, 2.5LT Form – Liquid Grade – Extra Dry (99.9% purity) Application – Solvent for moisture-sensitive reactions, chromatography, extractions
Product Overview
This high-purity ethyl acetate (99.9%) is processed over molecular sieves to achieve extra-dry conditions, making it ideal for applications where moisture contamination is critical. The AcroSeal® packaging ensures long-term stability and protection against atmospheric exposure, preserving the solvent’s integrity during storage and use. The extra-dry grade minimizes water content, reducing interference in sensitive reactions and analytical procedures. Its low residue profile and consistent evaporation rate make it a preferred choice for chromatography, extractions, and other lab processes requiring a clean, dry solvent. The solvent’s high volatility and mild odor also contribute to its ease of handling in controlled environments. Whether used in small-scale experiments or larger batch processes, this ethyl acetate delivers reliable performance with minimal impurities.
FAQs
1. What does “extra dry over molecular sieve” mean?
Extra dry indicates the solvent has been treated with molecular sieves to remove trace moisture, ensuring water content is significantly reduced for sensitive applications.
2. Is this ethyl acetate compatible with plastic containers?
While it can be stored in HDPE or PTFE containers, prolonged contact with some plastics may cause degradation. Glass or metal containers are recommended for long-term storage.
3. What alternatives exist for moisture-sensitive solvents?
Alternatives include anhydrous ethanol or acetone, but ethyl acetate’s balanced polarity and volatility make it a preferred choice for many extractions and purifications.
4. How should this solvent be stored to maintain purity?
Store in a cool, dry place with the original AcroSeal® cap tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption and contamination.
5. Why is AcroSeal® packaging beneficial?
The AcroSeal® system provides an airtight barrier, protecting the solvent from atmospheric exposure and extending shelf life without compromising purity.
