Thermo Scientific™ Methyl acetate ≥99%

Specifications:

Description:

Methyl Acetate (99%, Extra Pure) is a high-purity organic solvent commonly used in chemical synthesis, extraction, and industrial applications. Known for its clear liquid appearance, this solvent is widely utilized in laboratories for purification, synthesis, and analytical purposes due to its minimal impurities and high solvent strength.

With a low water content (≤0.05%) and GC purity of ≥98.5%, this extra pure methyl acetate is an ideal choice for applications requiring solvent purity and consistent performance. The infrared spectrum conformity and low residue after evaporation further ensure that it meets rigorous standards in chemical processing.

Key Features:

1. High Purity:
   • ≥98.5% GC purity, ensuring reliability and high performance in analytical chemistry and synthesis.
2. Clear Liquid:
   • The solvent is a clear liquid, making it easy to handle and observe during lab procedures.
3. Low Water Content:
   • With a water content of ≤0.05%, it ensures that there are minimal impurities that could affect chemical reactions or extraction processes.
4. Efficient Solvent:
   • Methyl acetate is a powerful solvent, ideal for acetylation reactions and other organic chemical processes.
5. Versatile Use:
   • Perfect for synthesis, solvent extraction, cleaning, and dilution applications, especially in pharmaceutical, biochemical, and environmental analysis.
6. Flash Point:
   • The flash point of –10°C makes it highly flammable, so proper storage and handling are necessary.
7. Regulatory Compliance:
   • Meets industry standards with GHS07 and GHS02 classifications for flame and irritant hazards.
