Product Overview
Hexyl alcohol (1-hexanol), offered at 99% anhydrous purity in AcroSeal® packaging, represents a high-grade aliphatic alcohol designed for demanding laboratory environments. The anhydrous formulation ensures negligible water content (<0.01%), eliminating interference in moisture-sensitive reactions such as esterifications, Grignard preparations, or chromatographic separations. Its linear six-carbon structure provides a balanced hydrophobicity, making it an effective solvent for nonpolar compounds while maintaining compatibility with aqueous systems when emulsified. The AcroSeal® technology guarantees extended shelf stability by minimizing oxidative degradation, with the amber glass packaging further protecting against photolytic breakdown. With a boiling point of 157°C and low volatility at room temperature, this grade offers precise control during distillation or reflux procedures. The absence of stabilizers or additives preserves reaction integrity, while the tightly sealed packaging prevents atmospheric contamination. For applications requiring absolute alcohol purity, this product delivers consistent batch-to-batch performance with certified analytical data available upon request.
FAQs
1. What is the maximum water content in this anhydrous hexyl alcohol?
The 99% anhydrous specification guarantees water content below 0.01%, verified through Karl Fischer titration for each batch.
2. Can this be used directly in GC-MS analysis without further purification?
While the 99% purity is suitable for most GC-MS applications, we recommend filtering through a 0.2µm PTFE syringe filter to remove potential particulate matter from storage.
3. How does the AcroSeal® packaging differ from standard bottles?
AcroSeal® features a PTFE-lined septum cap with a threaded polypropylene closure, creating an airtight seal that reduces oxygen ingress by 92% compared to traditional screw caps.
4. What’s the typical shelf life when stored unopened at room temperature?
Unopened bottles maintain full specifications for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored at 15-25°C away from direct sunlight.
5. Are there any known incompatibilities with common lab materials?
Hexyl alcohol may degrade natural rubber and some plasticizers in PVC tubing. Use with PTFE, glass, or polypropylene components for long-term contact.
