FAQs
1. What is the difference between Puratronic™ and standard calcium chloride hydrate?
The Puratronic™ grade offers 99.9965% metals basis purity, significantly reducing trace metal impurities compared to standard grades, which are typically 97-99% pure. This makes it suitable for high-sensitivity applications where contamination could skew results.
2. Can this product be used for moisture-sensitive reactions?
Yes, the hydrate form provides controlled moisture content, but for anhydrous requirements, additional drying under vacuum or inert gas may be necessary to remove bound water before use in moisture-sensitive reactions.
3. Is this calcium chloride hydrate compatible with plastic labware?
While generally compatible with most lab plastics like PP and HDPE, prolonged contact with highly concentrated solutions may cause degradation. Glass or PTFE containers are recommended for long-term storage of solutions.
4. How should this product be stored to maintain its purity?
Store in a tightly sealed container under dry, room-temperature conditions (15-25°C). Avoid exposure to humidity or direct sunlight, as the hydrate can absorb additional moisture, altering its composition over time.
5. Are there lower-purity alternatives available for general lab use?
For applications not requiring ultra-high purity, standard ACS-grade calcium chloride hydrate (97-99% purity) is a cost-effective alternative, though it may contain higher levels of trace metals and insoluble matter.
