Product Overview
Benzyl alcohol (98%+) in Extra Dry grade is a high-purity solvent designed for critical laboratory applications where moisture contamination must be minimized. The AcroSeal® packaging ensures long-term stability by preventing atmospheric exposure, making it ideal for reactions requiring anhydrous conditions. This grade features ultra-low water content (<0.005%), eliminating the need for additional drying steps. Its low viscosity and high boiling point (205°C) provide versatility as a solvent for polar and non-polar compounds alike. The product is stabilized against peroxide formation, extending shelf life without requiring inhibitors. Its refractive index (1.539) and density (1.045 g/mL) remain consistent across batches, ensuring reproducible results. The Extra Dry specification meets stringent requirements for organometallic synthesis, chromatography, and other moisture-sensitive protocols. AcroSeal® technology combines a tamper-evident cap with a PTFE-lined septum for precise dispensing while maintaining purity.
FAQs
1.
What is the maximum water content in this Extra Dry grade?
The water content is guaranteed below 0.005% (50 ppm), verified by Karl Fischer titration. 2.
Can this be used directly for Grignard reactions?
Yes, the ultra-low moisture content makes it suitable for Grignard and other organometallic reactions without prior drying. 3.
How does AcroSeal® packaging differ from standard bottles?
AcroSeal® features a PTFE-lined septum and tamper-evident cap that prevents air/moisture ingress during storage and dispensing. 4.
What is the typical shelf life under proper storage?
When stored unopened at room temperature, the product remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture. 5.
Is this grade compatible with HPLC applications?
The high purity and low UV absorbance make it suitable as an HPLC solvent, though UV-cutoff should be verified for specific wavelengths.
