Product Name – DICHLOROMETHANE SPECIALLY DRIED 99.5% AR Quantity/Pack Size – 500 ml, 2500 ml Form – Liquid Grade – AR (Analytical Reagent) Application – Solvent extraction, chromatography, organic synthesis
Product Overview
Dichloromethane (DCM) 99.5% AR is a specially dried, high-purity solvent designed for critical laboratory applications where moisture content must be minimized. This analytical reagent (AR) grade ensures exceptional purity, making it ideal for precise solvent extractions, chromatographic separations, and organic synthesis. The specially dried formulation reduces residual water content, enhancing its performance in moisture-sensitive reactions. With a low boiling point (39.6°C) and high volatility, it evaporates rapidly, leaving minimal residue. Its excellent solvency power dissolves a wide range of organic compounds, making it a versatile choice for sample preparation and purification processes. The 99.5% purity level guarantees consistent results in analytical and research settings. Packaged in airtight containers to prevent contamination, this DCM variant maintains its integrity during storage and handling. Compatible with most glassware and standard lab equipment, it integrates seamlessly into existing workflows without requiring additional purification steps.
FAQs
1. What is the moisture content in this specially dried dichloromethane?
The specially dried formulation ensures ultra-low moisture content, typically below 0.005%, making it suitable for moisture-sensitive applications.
2. Can this DCM be used for HPLC or GC analysis?
Yes, the 99.5% AR grade and low moisture content make it compatible with HPLC and GC applications where solvent purity is critical.
3. What is the shelf life of this product when stored properly?
When stored in a tightly sealed container away from direct sunlight and heat, the shelf life is approximately 24 months from the date of manufacture.
4. Is this dichloromethane compatible with plastic containers?
No, DCM can dissolve or degrade many plastics. Always use glass or HDPE containers for storage and handling.
5. How does this compare to standard dichloromethane?
The specially dried version has significantly lower moisture content and higher purity (99.5% AR) compared to standard grades, which may contain up to 0.1% water.
