Product Overview
Cyclohexane 99.5% AR is a high-purity, non-polar solvent widely used in laboratory applications requiring precise and reliable results. This analytical reagent (AR) grade cyclohexane is meticulously purified to ensure minimal impurities, making it suitable for critical processes such as extractions, syntheses, and chromatographic techniques. Its low moisture content and exceptional stability enhance reproducibility in experiments, while its narrow boiling point range (80.7°C) ensures consistent performance. The solvent’s hydrophobic nature makes it ideal for dissolving non-polar compounds, facilitating efficient separations in organic chemistry workflows. Packaged in amber glass bottles to prevent photodegradation, this cyclohexane maintains its integrity during storage and handling. Whether used as a reaction medium or for purification steps, its high evaporation rate and compatibility with common lab materials simplify post-reaction cleanup. The AR grade designation guarantees adherence to strict quality standards, providing researchers with confidence in their experimental outcomes. For applications demanding high purity and consistency, this cyclohexane delivers optimal performance without compromising on safety or efficiency.
FAQs
1. What is the boiling point of this cyclohexane?
