Product Overview
m-Xylene, 99% Extra Dry, AcroSeal® is a high-purity aromatic hydrocarbon solvent engineered for moisture-sensitive laboratory applications. The extra-dry formulation ensures minimal water content (<0.005%), making it ideal for critical processes where trace moisture can compromise results. Packaged in AcroSeal® technology, this solvent remains uncontaminated during storage and handling, preserving its integrity for extended periods. The 99% purity level guarantees consistent performance in chromatography, solvent extraction, and organic synthesis, where even minor impurities can alter reaction outcomes. Its low evaporation rate and high solvency power make it a preferred choice for dissolving nonpolar compounds, resins, and polymers. The sealed packaging eliminates the need for additional drying steps, saving time and reducing waste. Compatible with most glass and PTFE labware, this solvent maintains stability under standard lab conditions. For researchers requiring reliable, ultra-dry xylene without the risk of moisture-induced degradation, this product delivers unmatched purity and convenience.
FAQs
1. What is the moisture content in this extra-dry m-Xylene?
The moisture content is less than 0.005%, ensuring suitability for moisture-sensitive applications without requiring further drying.
2. Can this be used as a substitute for o-Xylene or p-Xylene?
While chemically similar, m-Xylene has distinct boiling points and solvency properties. Always verify compatibility with your specific protocol before substitution.
3. How does AcroSeal® packaging improve solvent stability?
AcroSeal® uses a hermetic seal and inert headspace to prevent moisture ingress and oxidation, maintaining solvent purity throughout its shelf life.
4. What precautions should be taken during storage?
Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from ignition sources. Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and contamination.
5. Is this grade suitable for HPLC or GC analysis?
Yes, the 99% purity and ultra-low moisture make it appropriate for HPLC and GC applications where solvent purity directly impacts baseline stability and peak resolution.
