Product Overview
o-Xylene, 99% Extra Dry from AcroSeal® is a high-purity aromatic hydrocarbon solvent designed for critical laboratory applications where moisture contamination must be minimized. The Extra Dry grade ensures ultra-low water content (<0.005%), making it ideal for moisture-sensitive reactions, chromatographic separations, and spectroscopic analysis. Packaged in AcroSeal® bottles with advanced sealing technology, this solvent maintains its purity throughout storage and usage. The 99% purity level guarantees consistent results in organic synthesis, while the sealed packaging prevents atmospheric moisture absorption. Its low UV absorbance and narrow distillation range make it particularly suitable for HPLC and GC applications. The solvent's high boiling point (144°C) and excellent solvating power for nonpolar compounds enhance its versatility in laboratory protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to meet ACS reagent specifications, ensuring reliable performance in demanding analytical procedures.
FAQs
1. What makes Extra Dry o-Xylene different from regular o-Xylene?
The Extra Dry grade undergoes additional purification to reduce water content below 0.005%, making it suitable for moisture-sensitive applications where regular grades might introduce water contamination.
2. Can this o-Xylene be used with plastic labware?
o-Xylene is known to dissolve many plastics including polystyrene and polyethylene. Use only with glass or PTFE-coated containers for accurate results.
3. What’s the typical shelf life of unopened Extra Dry o-Xylene?
When stored unopened in its original AcroSeal® packaging at room temperature, the product maintains its specifications for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.
4. How should I dispose of o-Xylene waste?
Collect in properly labeled hazardous waste containers and dispose through authorized chemical waste disposal services following local environmental regulations.
5. Does this product contain any stabilizers or additives?
This Extra Dry grade o-Xylene contains no added stabilizers or inhibitors, making it suitable for applications where pure solvent is required.
