Product Overview
Ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, also known as monoglyme, is a high-purity (99.5%) solvent that has been further dried over molecular sieves to ensure minimal water content. This extra-dry formulation is critical for applications where moisture sensitivity is a concern, providing enhanced stability and reactivity. The AcroSeal® packaging ensures long-term storage integrity, preventing contamination and degradation. With a low boiling point and excellent solvating properties, this reagent is widely used in organic synthesis, polymerization reactions, and as a medium for lithium-ion battery electrolytes. Its aprotic nature makes it particularly useful in reactions involving strong bases or nucleophiles. The molecular sieve treatment guarantees consistent performance, while the high purity level minimizes side reactions and byproducts. This product is supplied in airtight containers to maintain its anhydrous state, making it reliable for repetitive laboratory procedures.
FAQs
1. What is the water content in this extra-dry ethylene glycol dimethyl ether?
The product is dried over molecular sieves to achieve extremely low water content, typically below 50 ppm, ensuring suitability for moisture-sensitive reactions.
2. Is this solvent compatible with lithium-ion battery electrolyte formulations?
Yes, its high purity and low water content make it an excellent solvent for lithium-ion battery electrolyte preparation, where moisture can adversely affect performance.
3. Can this be used as a substitute for THF in certain reactions?
While it shares some properties with THF, its higher boiling point and different polarity may affect reaction outcomes, so compatibility should be tested case by case.
4. How should this product be stored to maintain its dryness?
Store in a cool, dry place with the original AcroSeal® container tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption from the atmosphere.
5. What is the shelf life of this extra-dry solvent?
When stored properly in its original sealed packaging, the product maintains its specified purity and dryness for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.
