Product Overview
Tetrahydrofuran (THF), 99.5% purity, is an ultra-dry solvent stabilized over molecular sieves to prevent peroxide formation and ensure long-term stability. This high-grade THF is packaged under nitrogen in AcroSeal® bottles, minimizing moisture and oxygen exposure for consistent performance in sensitive applications. The extra-dry formulation makes it ideal for reactions requiring anhydrous conditions, such as Grignard reactions, polymerizations, and chromatographic separations. Its low water content (<0.005%) and stabilized composition reduce variability in experimental results. The solvent’s high evaporation rate and miscibility with water and organic solvents enhance its versatility in lab protocols. AcroSeal® packaging provides an additional barrier against contamination, extending shelf life without compromising purity. This THF variant is particularly suited for applications where trace moisture or peroxides could interfere with outcomes, such as in organometallic chemistry or high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The stabilized formulation ensures reliable performance even after prolonged storage, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
FAQs
1. What is the water content in this extra-dry THF?
The water content is less than 0.005%, achieved through molecular sieve drying and nitrogen packaging.
2. Is this THF suitable for Grignard reactions?
Yes, the extra-dry and stabilized formulation prevents peroxide formation, making it ideal for moisture-sensitive reactions like Grignard synthesis.
3. How does AcroSeal® packaging improve stability?
AcroSeal® bottles are sealed under nitrogen, minimizing oxygen and moisture ingress to preserve purity during storage.
4. Can this THF be used for HPLC applications?
Yes, its high purity (99.5%) and low water content make it compatible with HPLC and other analytical techniques requiring ultra-clean solvents.
5. What precautions should be taken during storage?
Store in a cool, dry place away from ignition sources. Keep the bottle tightly sealed and avoid prolonged exposure to air to prevent peroxide formation.
