Product Overview
Ethanolamine, 99% pure, is a high-quality lab reagent packaged under the AcroSeal® system to ensure minimal contamination and extended shelf life. This colorless, viscous liquid serves as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis, offering excellent solubility in water and organic solvents. Its high purity level (99%) makes it suitable for applications requiring precise pH adjustment, corrosion inhibition, or as a solvent in chemical reactions. The AcroSeal® packaging provides an additional layer of protection against moisture and atmospheric exposure, preserving the reagent’s integrity during storage and handling. With a boiling point of 170°C and a density of approximately 1.01 g/mL, this ethanolamine variant maintains stability across a wide range of laboratory conditions. Its hygroscopic nature necessitates careful handling to prevent moisture absorption, which could compromise experimental accuracy. The reagent is compatible with most glass and stainless steel lab equipment, though prolonged contact with certain metals should be avoided to prevent degradation.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of 99% ethanolamine in AcroSeal® packaging?
The AcroSeal® packaging extends the shelf life to approximately 24 months when stored under recommended conditions, as the sealed system minimizes exposure to moisture and air.
2. Can this ethanolamine be used for gas treatment applications?
While primarily designed for lab use, 99% ethanolamine is chemically identical to industrial-grade variants used in gas sweetening processes, though additional testing may be required for specific applications.
3. What precautions should be taken when handling this reagent?
Always use in a well-ventilated area with appropriate PPE, including gloves and goggles, as ethanolamine can cause skin irritation and has a pungent ammonia-like odor.
4. Is this product compatible with plastic labware?
It is generally compatible with HDPE and PTFE containers, but prolonged storage in plastic may lead to leaching or container degradation over time.
5. How does the AcroSeal® packaging differ from standard bottles?
The AcroSeal® system features a tamper-evident cap with a PTFE-lined septum, reducing contamination risk and allowing for multiple uses without compromising purity.
