Product Overview
Cyclohexane 99.5% PRA is a high-purity, non-polar solvent widely used in laboratory settings for its excellent solvency properties and low reactivity. This colorless liquid, with a characteristic mild odor, is distilled to meet stringent analytical standards, ensuring minimal impurities and consistent performance. Its high boiling point (80.7°C) and low dielectric constant make it ideal for dissolving non-polar compounds, while its stability under standard conditions ensures reliable results in sensitive applications. The PRA (Pro Analysis) grade designation guarantees adherence to strict quality controls, making it suitable for critical processes where precision is paramount. Cyclohexane’s low water miscibility and volatility further enhance its utility in extraction and purification workflows. Packaged in a 1000 ml amber glass bottle, it is protected from light-induced degradation, preserving its integrity during storage and use.
FAQs
1. What is the boiling point of Cyclohexane 99.5% PRA?
The boiling point of Cyclohexane 99.5% PRA is 80.7°C, making it suitable for applications requiring moderate temperature control.
2. Is this grade of Cyclohexane compatible with plastic containers?
Cyclohexane can degrade certain plastics over time. For long-term storage, use glass containers or HDPE bottles specifically rated for solvent resistance.
3. Are there alternatives to Cyclohexane for non-polar solvent applications?
Hexane and heptane are common alternatives, though their boiling points and solvency profiles differ. Cyclohexane is often preferred for its balanced properties.
4. How should Cyclohexane 99.5% PRA be stored to maintain purity?
Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and ignition sources. Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent contamination or evaporation.
5. What is the shelf life of this product when stored properly?
When stored under recommended conditions, Cyclohexane 99.5% PRA retains its specified purity for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
