FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this zinc chloride product?
When stored in its original sealed container under recommended conditions, this zinc chloride maintains its specified purity for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture. The extra pure grade formulation helps preserve its stability over extended periods.
2. How should this product be stored to maintain its purity?
Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. The hygroscopic nature of zinc chloride requires protection from atmospheric humidity to prevent absorption of water vapor that could affect its purity and performance.
3. Is this zinc chloride suitable for use in anhydrous applications?
The 99.99% purity and extra pure grade make this product appropriate for many anhydrous applications, though additional drying may be required depending on the specific moisture sensitivity of your procedure. The trace metal basis specification ensures minimal metallic impurities that could interfere with sensitive reactions.
4. What safety precautions should be taken when handling this chemical?
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves, safety goggles, and lab coat when handling. Work in a well-ventilated area or fume hood, as zinc chloride can release corrosive fumes. Avoid inhalation and skin contact, and wash thoroughly after handling.
5. Can this product be used as a catalyst in organic synthesis?
The high purity and extra pure grade of this zinc chloride make it suitable for use as a Lewis acid catalyst in various organic synthesis reactions. Its minimal impurity profile helps prevent unwanted side reactions that could occur with lower-grade materials.
