Product Overview
Chlorobenzene LR is a high-purity laboratory reagent designed for critical applications requiring consistent performance. This colorless, volatile liquid exhibits a characteristic aromatic odor and serves as a non-polar solvent in organic synthesis. With a purity level of 99.5% minimum, it ensures reliable results in chromatographic analysis, extraction processes, and as a reaction medium. The LR grade designation confirms its suitability for general laboratory use where analytical precision is essential. Its low water content (<0.05%) and controlled impurity profile make it particularly valuable for moisture-sensitive reactions. The 2.5-liter packaging provides an optimal balance between bulk efficiency and storage convenience, featuring a tamper-evident seal to maintain product integrity. As a monochlorinated aromatic compound, it demonstrates excellent stability under standard laboratory conditions while maintaining compatibility with most glassware and common laboratory materials.
FAQs
1. What is the typical shelf life of Chlorobenzene LR when stored properly?
When stored in tightly sealed original containers away from direct sunlight and moisture, Chlorobenzene LR maintains its specified purity for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Can this grade of Chlorobenzene be used in HPLC applications?
While LR grade is suitable for many general laboratory applications, for HPLC use we recommend our HPLC-grade Chlorobenzene which has additional purity specifications and lower UV absorbance characteristics.
3. What safety precautions should be taken when handling Chlorobenzene?
Always use in a well-ventilated area or fume hood, wear appropriate PPE including chemical-resistant gloves and safety goggles, and avoid inhalation of vapors or direct skin contact.
4. How does the purity of LR grade compare with AR grade Chlorobenzene?
LR grade typically has a minimum purity of 99.5%, while AR (Analytical Reagent) grade usually exceeds 99.8% purity with stricter controls on trace impurities and water content.
5. What is the recommended storage temperature for Chlorobenzene LR?
Store between 15-25°C in a cool, dry place away from ignition sources and incompatible materials like strong oxidizing agents.
