Product Overview
This 99.5% extra dry isopropanol is a high-purity solvent processed over molecular sieves to achieve ultra-low moisture content, making it ideal for applications where even trace water can compromise results. The AcroSeal® packaging ensures long-term stability by preventing atmospheric moisture contamination during storage. As an anhydrous alcohol, it maintains consistent performance in critical laboratory procedures where water interference must be eliminated. The solvent’s high evaporation rate and excellent solvency properties make it particularly effective for cleaning glassware, dissolving non-polar compounds, and serving as a reaction medium. The molecular sieve treatment provides superior drying compared to standard isopropanol, with residual water content typically below 50ppm. This grade is specifically formulated for use in analytical chemistry, organic synthesis, and other moisture-sensitive applications where standard isopropanol would be inadequate. The AcroSeal® container features a special seal that maintains the dry environment until the moment of use, ensuring the solvent’s purity is preserved throughout its shelf life.
FAQs
1. How does the molecular sieve treatment improve this isopropanol?
The molecular sieve treatment physically adsorbs water molecules, reducing moisture content to extremely low levels that cannot be achieved through standard distillation alone. This creates a consistently dry solvent suitable for moisture-sensitive applications.
2. Can this be used as a direct replacement for standard isopropanol?
While chemically similar, this extra dry grade is specifically formulated for applications requiring minimal water content. For general cleaning or non-critical applications, standard isopropanol may be more cost-effective.
3. What’s the typical shelf life when unopened?
When stored in its original AcroSeal® packaging at room temperature, the product maintains its specified purity for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.
4. How should I handle the empty containers?
Empty containers should be treated as hazardous waste due to residual solvent vapors. Follow standard laboratory protocols for solvent waste disposal, including proper ventilation during handling.
5. What’s the difference between this and HPLC-grade isopropanol?
This extra dry grade prioritizes minimal moisture content, while HPLC-grade focuses on overall purity and lack of UV-absorbing impurities. For chromatography applications, HPLC-grade would be more appropriate.
