Product Overview
Morpholine LR is a high-purity, laboratory-grade cyclic amine widely used in organic synthesis, corrosion inhibition, and pH regulation. This clear, colorless liquid boasts a purity of 99%, ensuring reliable and consistent results in chemical reactions. Its unique structure, featuring both amine and ether functional groups, makes it a versatile reagent for various applications. Morpholine LR acts as an effective emulsifier and solvent in industrial formulations, particularly in the production of rubber chemicals, optical brighteners, and pharmaceutical intermediates. The reagent’s low volatility and high boiling point enhance its stability in long-duration processes. As a corrosion inhibitor, it forms protective films on metal surfaces, preventing oxidation in water treatment and cooling systems. The LR grade ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for analytical and research applications where precision is critical. Its hygroscopic nature requires proper storage in tightly sealed containers to maintain purity. Compatible with most organic solvents, Morpholine LR integrates seamlessly into existing lab protocols without requiring additional purification steps.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Morpholine LR when stored properly?
When stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, Morpholine LR maintains its stability for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture. Always check the container for any signs of degradation before use.
2. Can Morpholine LR be used as a substitute for other amines in synthesis?
Yes, Morpholine LR can replace other secondary amines like piperidine or pyrrolidine in certain reactions, though adjustments to reaction conditions may be needed due to differences in basicity and steric effects.
3. What precautions should be taken while handling Morpholine LR?
Wear nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat when handling. Work in a well-ventilated area or fume hood, as prolonged exposure to vapors may cause respiratory irritation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
4. Is Morpholine LR compatible with aqueous solutions?
Morpholine LR is miscible with water and forms stable aqueous solutions, making it suitable for pH adjustment in water-based systems, though its volatility increases in diluted forms.
5. How does Morpholine LR compare to technical-grade morpholine?
LR-grade morpholine undergoes stricter purification processes, resulting in higher purity (99%+) and lower impurity levels compared to technical-grade (typically 95-97% purity), which may contain traces of water or other amines.
