Product Overview
This 99.9% pure dichloromethane (DCM) is an extra dry, stabilized solvent designed for high-precision laboratory applications. The AcroSeal® packaging ensures minimal moisture ingress and contamination, preserving the solvent’s integrity during storage and use. With its low boiling point (39.6°C) and excellent solvency power, it efficiently dissolves a wide range of organic compounds without leaving residues. The stabilization process prevents the formation of phosgene and hydrochloric acid, enhancing safety during prolonged storage. Its high volatility makes it ideal for rapid evaporation applications, while the extra dry grade eliminates water interference in moisture-sensitive reactions. The solvent is filtered through a 0.2µm membrane to remove particulate matter, ensuring consistent performance in analytical and synthetic procedures. The amber glass bottles provide UV protection, maintaining chemical stability over time.
FAQs
1. What makes this dichloromethane “extra dry”?
The extra dry designation indicates it contains less than 50ppm water content, achieved through molecular sieve drying and rigorous quality control during packaging.
2. How does the AcroSeal® packaging benefit this product?
AcroSeal® uses a patented bottle and cap system with PTFE-faced septa to prevent air/moisture exchange, maintaining the solvent’s purity throughout its shelf life.
3. Can this be used as a direct substitute for regular DCM?
Yes, but its higher purity makes it particularly suitable for applications where trace impurities could affect results, such as HPLC or GC analysis.
4. What’s the typical shelf life when stored properly?
When kept in the original unopened AcroSeal® container at room temperature, it maintains specifications for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.
5. How should I dispose of unused dichloromethane?
Collect in approved solvent waste containers and dispose through licensed hazardous waste handlers according to local environmental regulations.
