Specifications Table

Product Name – 2-Methyl-1-Propanol, 99+%, Extra Dry, AcroSeal®
Quantity/Pack Size – 1LT, 100ML
Form – Liquid
Grade – Extra Dry (99%+ purity)
Application – Solvent for moisture-sensitive reactions, chromatography, and synthesis

Product Overview

This high-purity 2-Methyl-1-Propanol (isobutanol) is specially processed to achieve ≥99% purity with extra-dry specifications, making it ideal for applications where moisture contamination must be minimized. The AcroSeal® packaging technology provides an additional barrier against atmospheric moisture ingress during storage and handling. As a branched-chain alcohol, it offers unique solvent properties including moderate polarity and low volatility compared to straight-chain alcohols. The extra-dry grade ensures consistent performance in moisture-sensitive reactions, while the sealed packaging maintains purity throughout the product’s shelf life. This solvent finds particular utility in processes requiring anhydrous conditions, where even trace water content could compromise results. The 1-liter and 100ml pack sizes provide flexibility for both bulk applications and small-scale experiments.

FAQs

1. What makes this 2-Methyl-1-Propanol “Extra Dry”?

The extra-dry designation indicates this product has undergone specialized drying processes to reduce water content to extremely low levels, typically below 50 ppm, making it suitable for moisture-sensitive applications.

2. How does AcroSeal® packaging benefit this solvent?

AcroSeal® packaging features a unique bottle and cap design that creates a superior moisture barrier, preventing atmospheric water from entering the container during storage and repeated use.

3. Can this be used as a direct substitute for n-butanol?

While chemically similar, the branched structure of 2-Methyl-1-Propanol gives it different solvent properties including lower polarity and different boiling point, which may affect performance in some applications.

4. What’s the typical shelf life for this product?

When stored unopened in its original AcroSeal® packaging at room temperature, this product maintains its extra-dry specifications for at least 24 months from date of manufacture.

5. Does this product contain any stabilizers or additives?

This is a pure solvent product without added stabilizers, though the extra-dry processing may involve molecular sieves or other drying agents that are subsequently removed.
