Product Overview
Propylene carbonate, 99.5% anhydrous, is a high-purity, water-free solvent designed for demanding laboratory applications. Its AcroSeal® packaging ensures minimal moisture absorption, preserving purity and performance over extended storage periods. This colorless, odorless liquid boasts exceptional solvency power for polar and nonpolar compounds, making it ideal for precise formulations. With a high boiling point (242°C) and low volatility, it provides stability in thermal applications while maintaining compatibility with a wide range of organic and inorganic substances. The anhydrous grade eliminates interference from water content, ensuring consistent results in sensitive analytical procedures. Its low toxicity profile and biodegradability make it a safer alternative to traditional chlorinated solvents. The sealed packaging prevents atmospheric contamination, guaranteeing batch-to-batch consistency for reproducible experiments.
FAQs
1. What is the typical moisture content in this anhydrous propylene carbonate?
The AcroSeal® packaging maintains moisture levels below 50 ppm, ensuring the anhydrous specification is preserved until opening.
2. Can this be used as a direct replacement for dimethyl carbonate in reactions?
While similar in some applications, propylene carbonate has a higher boiling point and different polarity, which may affect reaction kinetics and selectivity.
3. What precautions should be taken when handling this solvent?
Use in a well-ventilated area with standard solvent handling procedures, though its low volatility reduces inhalation risks compared to many organic solvents.
4. How does the AcroSeal® packaging differ from standard bottles?
The hermetic seal and moisture-barrier design prevent atmospheric contamination, extending shelf life significantly beyond conventional packaging.
5. What’s the expected shelf life when stored unopened?
When stored at room temperature in original packaging, the product maintains its specifications for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.
