Product Name – Methylcyclohexane, 98+%, Extra Dry, AcroSeal® Quantity/Pack Size – 1LT, 100ML Form – Liquid Grade – Extra Dry (98%+) Application – Solvent, chromatography, synthesis
Product Overview
Methylcyclohexane, 98%+ purity in Extra Dry grade, is a high-performance solvent designed for moisture-sensitive laboratory applications. Packaged in AcroSeal® bottles, it ensures minimal water content (<50 ppm) and long-term stability, making it ideal for critical reactions and analyses. The solvent’s low UV absorbance and narrow distillation range enhance reproducibility in chromatographic separations and organic synthesis. Its non-polar nature and high boiling point (101°C) provide excellent solubility for hydrophobic compounds while minimizing evaporation losses. The AcroSeal® packaging features a PTFE-lined cap to prevent atmospheric contamination, ensuring consistent performance batch after batch. This grade is purified through rigorous distillation and drying processes, removing trace impurities that could interfere with sensitive applications. Compatible with most organic solvents, it serves as a reliable alternative to hexane or cyclohexane where higher purity is required. Store under inert gas for extended shelf life.
FAQs
1. What is the water content in Extra Dry Methylcyclohexane?
The Extra Dry grade contains less than 50 ppm water, verified through Karl Fischer titration.
2. Can this be used as a substitute for n-hexane in reactions?
Yes, it offers similar solubility properties with a higher boiling point, but test compatibility for specific protocols.
3. How does AcroSeal® packaging improve stability?
The PTFE-lined cap and nitrogen-flushed headspace reduce moisture and oxygen ingress during storage.
4. What precautions are needed for long-term storage?
Store unopened bottles at 15-25°C away from direct sunlight; avoid temperature fluctuations to prevent condensation.
5. Is this grade suitable for HPLC mobile phase preparation?
Yes, its low UV cutoff and high purity make it appropriate for HPLC applications after filtration.
