Fluka™ HYDRANAL™ Composite 5 K is a methanol-free Karl Fischer reagent designed for volumetric one-component Karl Fischer titration, specifically optimized for moisture determination in aldehydes and ketones. Conventional Karl Fischer reagents containing methanol can cause side reactions with these functional groups, leading to inaccurate moisture results. Composite 5 K eliminates this interference by using a methanol-free formulation.
As part of the trusted HYDRANAL™ product family, this reagent delivers excellent stability, high analytical precision, and consistent titration performance. It is widely used in analytical laboratories for routine moisture determination in pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, chemicals, and specialty solvents.
Selected packaging options are available in Smart Chemical glass bottles equipped with RFID tags, allowing improved reagent identification, traceability, and automated instrument compatibility.
