FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of 70% AR Perchloric Acid?
When stored in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture, this perchloric acid retains its stability for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Is this acid compatible with glass containers?
Yes, AR-grade perchloric acid can be stored in high-quality borosilicate glass containers, but prolonged exposure may require specialized storage solutions to prevent corrosion.
3. Are there safer alternatives for less critical applications?
For general laboratory cleaning, diluted nitric acid or sulfuric acid may serve as alternatives, though they may not offer the same precision for diamond-specific processes.
4. How should spills of this acid be handled?
Neutralize spills immediately with sodium bicarbonate or a compatible base, then absorb with inert material like sand. Always wear protective gear and follow lab safety protocols.
5. Can this acid be used for other metal processing applications?
While primarily designed for diamonds, its high purity makes it suitable for certain metal etching applications, but compatibility should be verified based on specific material requirements.
