Product Overview
Cyclohexanol 99.5% AR is a high-purity, colorless liquid widely used in organic chemistry and industrial applications. This analytical reagent (AR) grade ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for precise laboratory work, including synthesis reactions, solvent applications, and as a chemical intermediate. Its stable molecular structure and high boiling point (161°C) make it an excellent choice for processes requiring controlled evaporation. The 99.5% purity level guarantees consistent results in experiments, while its miscibility with common organic solvents enhances versatility. Cyclohexanol is also valued for its role in producing nylon and other polymers, demonstrating its importance in both research and industrial settings. Proper storage in a cool, dry place ensures long-term stability and performance.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Cyclohexanol 99.5% AR?
When stored in a tightly sealed container away from direct sunlight and moisture, Cyclohexanol 99.5% AR typically retains its purity for 2-3 years.
2. Is this grade suitable for HPLC applications?
While Cyclohexanol 99.5% AR is highly pure, HPLC applications may require specialized grades. For best results, verify compatibility with your specific protocol.
3. Can it be used as a solvent for polar compounds?
Cyclohexanol is moderately polar, making it effective for dissolving certain polar organic compounds, though less so than highly polar solvents like water or methanol.
4. What precautions should be taken during handling?
Use in a well-ventilated area with gloves and goggles, as prolonged exposure may cause skin and eye irritation. Avoid inhalation of vapors.
5. How does this compare to technical-grade Cyclohexanol?
AR grade offers higher purity (99.5%) with fewer impurities, making it ideal for analytical and research applications, whereas technical grade may contain more contaminants.
