Nitric Acid Extra pure
Nitric Acid Extra pure is a high-purity, concentrated mineral acid supplied in a secure 2.5-litre packaging, ideal for laboratory and industrial applications requiring precision and consistency. Known for its strong oxidizing properties, nitric acid (HNO₃) is widely used in analytical chemistry, metal etching, sample digestion, and nitrate salt preparation.
This Extra Pure grade ensures minimal contaminants, making it especially suitable for trace analysis, high-purity synthesis, and quality control laboratories. Its sharp, acrid odor and highly corrosive nature demand careful handling with proper personal protective equipment (PPE), including acid-resistant gloves, goggles, and fume hoods. It must be stored in tightly sealed, compatible containers away from organic materials, bases, and flammable substances. This reagent is essential in both academic research and industrial processes involving nitration reactions, fertilizer formulation, and explosives development.
Polyglyceryl Extra Pure
Polyglyceryl Extra Pure refers to a high-purity class of non-ionic surfactants and emulsifiers derived from glycerol units. These compounds are widely used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food formulations due to their excellent skin compatibility, emulsifying properties, and biodegradability.
Polyglyceryls come in various forms (e.g., Polyglyceryl-3, Polyglyceryl-6, Polyglyceryl-10), each offering different levels of hydrophilicity and emulsifying strength. In cosmetics, they help create stable oil-in-water emulsions, ideal for lotions, creams, cleansers, and sunscreens. In pharmaceuticals, their non-toxic and non-irritating nature makes them suitable carriers for active ingredients. In food products, they function as safe emulsifiers and stabilizers, supporting clean-label and natural product development.
This extra pure grade ensures low impurity levels, minimal odor, and consistent performance, making it ideal for sensitive applications. Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from heat and light to maintain its stability and quality.
Potassium Chlorate Extra Pure
