Product Overview
CYCLOHEXANE SPECIALLY DRIED 99.5% AR is a high-purity, low-moisture solvent designed for demanding laboratory applications. This analytical reagent grade cyclohexane undergoes rigorous drying processes to minimize water content, ensuring consistent performance in sensitive procedures. Its non-polar nature makes it an excellent choice for dissolving non-polar compounds, while its high stability prevents degradation during extended use. The 99.5% purity level guarantees minimal impurities, reducing the risk of interference in analytical techniques. This specially dried variant is particularly valuable in applications where trace moisture could compromise results, such as in certain chromatographic separations or extraction processes. The 500 ml packaging provides an optimal balance between convenience and cost-effectiveness for regular lab use. As a colorless, flammable liquid with a characteristic odor, it maintains consistent physical properties across batches, ensuring reproducible results in experimental setups. The product’s low dielectric constant and excellent solvent properties make it versatile for various laboratory protocols while maintaining compatibility with standard glassware and equipment.
FAQs
1.
What is the moisture content in this specially dried cyclohexane?
This variant undergoes additional drying processes to achieve significantly lower moisture levels than standard cyclohexane, typically below 0.005%. 2.
Can this be used as a substitute for n-hexane in applications?
While both are non-polar solvents, cyclohexane has a higher boiling point (80.7°C) and different selectivity, which may affect separation efficiency in certain applications. 3.
What precautions should be taken during storage?
Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from ignition sources, with containers tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and oxidation. 4.
Is this grade suitable for spectroscopic analysis?
The AR grade with 99.5% purity makes it appropriate for many spectroscopic applications, though ultra-pure grades may be required for highly sensitive UV or IR spectroscopy. 5.
What is the typical shelf life of this product?
When stored properly in unopened containers, the product maintains its specifications for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.
