The LR grade ensures reliable performance, meeting the stringent requirements of analytical and research laboratories. Diacetone Alcohol LR is non-corrosive and maintains stability under standard lab conditions, reducing the risk of unwanted reactions. Whether used as a reaction medium or for sample preparation, this solvent delivers consistent results, supporting accurate and reproducible experiments. Its versatility extends to various industrial applications, where its ability to dissolve resins, oils, and cellulose derivatives is highly valued. Proper storage in a cool, well-ventilated area ensures long-term stability, preserving its effectiveness for repeated use.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Diacetone Alcohol LR when stored properly?
When stored in a tightly sealed container away from direct sunlight and moisture, Diacetone Alcohol LR typically retains its stability for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Can Diacetone Alcohol LR be used as a substitute for acetone in lab procedures?
While both are solvents, Diacetone Alcohol LR has a higher boiling point and different solvency properties, so it may not always be a direct substitute for acetone. Compatibility should be tested for specific applications.
3. Is this product compatible with plastic containers for storage?
Diacetone Alcohol LR is generally compatible with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene containers, but prolonged exposure to certain plastics may cause degradation. Glass or metal containers are recommended for long-term storage.
4. Does Diacetone Alcohol LR leave residue after evaporation?
Due to its LR grade purity, Diacetone Alcohol LR leaves minimal residue upon evaporation, making it suitable for applications requiring high cleanliness standards.
5. What safety precautions should be taken while handling Diacetone Alcohol LR?
Use in a well-ventilated area, wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and goggles, and avoid inhalation or direct skin contact to minimize exposure risks.
