EDM 3 LLC Aluminum Chloride ACS Grade 50% Chemistry Reagent, 1 oz is a
multipurpose chemical reagent that is extensively utilized in many different
areas of chemistry, such as material science, organic synthesis, and catalysis.
High purity and consistency are guaranteed by this reagent, which has an ACS
(American Chemical Society) grade of 50%. These qualities are crucial for
trustworthy experimental outcomes. It is appropriate for use in research and
teaching labs and comes in a 1 ounce container.
Features:
- Catalysis: Aluminum chloride is a potent Lewis acid catalyst that
is frequently employed in acylation and Friedel-Crafts alkylation processes.
It makes carbon-carbon bonds easier to form, which is important for the
synthesis of aromatic chemicals.
- Polymerization: It contributes to the production of high
molecular weight polymers by acting as a catalyst in the polymerization of
ethylene and other alkenes.
- Material Science: Utilized as a precursor in the synthesis of
nanomaterials and in the creation of certain materials based on aluminum.
- Water Treatment: Used as a coagulant to aid in the removal of
suspended particles and contaminants from water.
Safety and Handling:
- Preparation: Usually, the reagent is used straight out of the
container in a 50% solution. If you notice settling, make sure you mix well
before using.
- Application: Handle with caution, applying the right methods
based on the particular use, such as synthesis or catalysis.
- Storage: Keep away from moisture and incompatible materials and
store in a cold, dry location. When not in use, keep the container tightly
sealed.
- Safety: Aluminum chloride may burn people severely and is
corrosive. Wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE), such as lab
coats, gloves, and goggles.
Packaging:
Comes in a 1 oz (28.35 grams) container, making it perfect for pilot research
or small-scale laboratory use.
