The spectroscopy-grade purity guarantees minimal impurities, reducing background noise in spectral analysis. This solvent is compatible with a wide range of organic compounds, making it versatile for various extraction and separation techniques. The 1-liter and 500-milliliter packaging options provide flexibility for different laboratory needs, from large-scale preparations to small-volume experiments. Its stable chemical properties ensure reliable results across multiple applications, while the tightly sealed packaging maintains product integrity during storage and transportation. The solvent’s balanced polarity allows for effective dissolution of both polar and non-polar substances, enhancing its utility in complex analytical workflows.
FAQs
1.What is the evaporation rate of this n-Butyl acetate compared to other common solvents?
This n-Butyl acetate has a moderate evaporation rate, slower than acetone but faster than ethyl acetate, making it suitable for applications requiring controlled solvent removal.
2.Can this solvent be used with plastic containers for storage?
While short-term storage in HDPE or PTFE containers is possible, prolonged contact may cause swelling or degradation of some plastics. Glass containers are recommended for long-term storage.
3.What is the typical shelf life of unopened n-Butyl acetate?
When stored properly in its original sealed container at room temperature, this product maintains its specifications for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.
4.How does the spectroscopy grade differ from technical grade n-Butyl acetate?
The spectroscopy grade has significantly lower levels of UV-absorbing impurities and moisture content, with purity exceeding 99%, compared to technical grade which typically contains more impurities.
5.What safety precautions should be taken when handling this solvent?
Use in a well-ventilated area or fume hood, wear appropriate PPE including gloves and safety goggles, and avoid inhalation of vapors as it may cause dizziness or irritation.
