Benzene Extra Pure
Original price was: $ 39.00.$ 38.24Current price is: $ 38.24.
Benzene Extra Pure is a high-purity, clear, highly volatile, and flammable liquid with a characteristic aromatic odor, used extensively in laboratory settings for analytical, organic, and physical chemistry applications. It serves as a non-polar solvent for a wide range of chemical reactions, particularly in the study of aromatic compounds, electrophilic substitution mechanisms, and polymer chemistry. Its stability and solvency make it suitable for sample preparation, purification processes, and spectral analysis. The extra pure grade ensures minimal impurities, delivering consistent results in precision research. Due to its toxic and carcinogenic nature, benzene must be handled in a well-ventilated fume hood with appropriate protective equipment and stored in tightly sealed containers away from heat, sparks, and oxidizers.
