Product Overview
Methyl Cyclohexane 99% is a high-purity, nonpolar solvent widely used in laboratory settings due to its excellent solvency properties and low reactivity. This clear, colorless liquid is synthesized to meet strict quality standards, ensuring consistency and reliability in experimental procedures. With a boiling point of approximately 101?C and a flash point of -4?C, it is classified as a flammable liquid, requiring proper handling and storage. Its chemical stability makes it suitable for applications where minimal interference with reactions is critical. The synthesis grade ensures minimal impurities, making it ideal for precise analytical and preparative tasks. The solvent is compatible with a wide range of organic compounds, facilitating efficient extractions and separations. Packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles, it is protected from contamination and moisture, preserving its purity during storage and transport. The 500 ml and 2500 ml pack sizes cater to varying lab requirements, from small-scale experiments to bulk applications.
FAQs
1. What is the boiling point of Methyl Cyclohexane 99%?
The boiling point of Methyl Cyclohexane 99% is approximately 101?C, making it suitable for distillation and solvent recovery processes.
2. Is this solvent compatible with polar compounds?
Methyl Cyclohexane is a nonpolar solvent, so it is generally more effective with nonpolar or weakly polar organic compounds rather than highly polar substances.
3. Can this be used as an alternative to hexane?
Yes, Methyl Cyclohexane can serve as an alternative to hexane in certain applications, though its boiling point and solvency properties may differ slightly.
4. How should Methyl Cyclohexane be stored?
Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from ignition sources, direct sunlight, and incompatible materials. Keep the container tightly sealed.
5. What safety precautions should be taken while handling?
Use in a fume hood, wear appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles), and avoid inhalation or skin contact due to its flammable and mildly irritant nature.
