Product Overview
Salicylic acid, 99%+ ACS reagent grade, is a high-purity crystalline compound widely recognized for its precision in laboratory applications. This analytical-grade material meets the stringent standards set by the American Chemical Society (ACS), ensuring consistent performance in critical experiments. The product exhibits a white to off-white crystalline structure with a melting point of 158-161°C, making it suitable for applications requiring thermal stability. Its high solubility in ethanol (1g/4.6mL) and moderate solubility in water (1g/460mL at 20°C) allow for versatile preparation methods. The ACS certification guarantees minimal impurities, with heavy metals content below 0.001% and residue on ignition under 0.05%, which is essential for accurate analytical results. The compound’s molecular formula (C₇H₆O₃) and molar mass (138.12 g/mol) are precisely characterized, enabling reliable stoichiometric calculations in synthesis reactions. Packaged in airtight containers to prevent moisture absorption, this salicylic acid maintains its stability during storage and transportation. The reagent’s low volatility and high thermal stability make it particularly valuable for applications requiring controlled reaction conditions. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control testing to verify purity and consistency, with certificates of analysis available upon request.
