Product Overview
Butylated Hydroxy Anisole (BHA) 98.5% Extra Pure is a synthetic antioxidant widely recognized for its stability and effectiveness in preventing oxidation. This high-purity grade ensures minimal impurities, making it ideal for precise laboratory applications. BHA functions by inhibiting the autoxidation of fats and oils, thereby extending shelf life and maintaining sample integrity. Its fine powder form allows for easy dissolution and uniform distribution in solutions. The extra pure grade guarantees consistent results, reducing variability in experiments. BHA is chemically stable under standard lab conditions, though it should be stored away from direct light and moisture to preserve its potency. This product is sourced from trusted manufacturers, ensuring compliance with stringent quality standards. Whether used as a standalone reagent or in combination with other stabilizers, BHA 98.5% delivers reliable performance for demanding lab protocols.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Butylated Hydroxy Anisole 98.5% Extra Pure?
When stored in a cool, dry place in its original sealed packaging, BHA 98.5% retains its potency for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Is this BHA grade compatible with food-grade applications?
While this is an extra pure grade, it is primarily intended for lab use. For food-grade applications, ensure compliance with local regulatory standards and opt for certified food-grade BHA.
3. Can BHA 98.5% be used alongside other antioxidants like BHT?
Yes, BHA is often combined with BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene) for synergistic antioxidant effects, but compatibility should be verified based on specific experimental conditions.
4. What precautions should be taken while handling BHA powder?
Use standard lab safety measures: wear gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Avoid inhalation and ensure proper ventilation, as BHA dust may cause irritation.
5. How does the extra pure grade differ from technical-grade BHA?
The extra pure grade undergoes additional purification steps to minimize impurities, ensuring higher consistency and reliability in sensitive applications compared to technical-grade variants.
