Deionized water
Original price was: KSh1,000.00.KSh850.00Current price is: KSh850.00.
Deionized water, also known as demineralized water, is water that has had its mineral ions (such as sodium, calcium, iron, and copper) and dissolved solids removed through a process called ion exchange.
Distilled water, on the other hand, is water that has been purified by boiling it into steam and then condensing the steam back into water. This process removes impurities such as minerals, bacteria, and other contaminants.
Both deionized and distilled water are highly purified forms of water, but the processes used to purify them are different. Deionized water is typically used in laboratory settings or in industrial processes, while distilled water is commonly used in medical applications, humidifiers, and in some consumer products
Primary Uses of Deionized Water

General Handling:
Electrical Safety:
- High-purity DI water is more conductive than distilled water—keep away from live circuits.
- Avoid spills near electrical equipment.
Material Compatibility:
- Can leach ionsfrom metals, glass, or plastics over time.
- Avoid long-term storage in reactive containers (e.g., some plastics, untreated steel).
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
- Gloves (optional):Nitrile gloves if handling large volumes (prevents contamination).
- Safety goggles:Only needed if splashing risk exists (e.g., pressurized systems).
Storage:
- Use chemically inert containers(HDPE, PTFE, or glass).
- Seal tightly to prevent CO₂ absorption(forms carbonic acid, lowering pH).
Inhalation:
- Not applicable (non-volatile).
Skin Contact:
- No action needed (non-irritating).
- Dry skin if exposed repeatedly (may cause mild dryness).
Eye Contact:
- Rinse with clean water for 5–10 minutes(DI water lacks buffering ions).
- Seek medical help only if irritation persists (unlikely).
Ingestion:
- Harmless in small amounts.
- Large quantitiesmay cause electrolyte imbalance—seek medical advice if consumed excessively.
- Non-flammable.
- Not a fire hazard, but do NOT use to extinguish:
- Electrical fires (unless de-energized).
- Water-reactive chemicals (e.g., alkali metals, strong acids).
Special Cases:
- If DI water is contaminated with organics/flammables, treat as the contaminant’s hazard.
Cleanup:
- Wipe up with absorbent materials (e.g., lint-free cloths).
- For large spills, use a wet/dry vacuum.
Environmental Notes:
- No ecological toxicity, but large spills may:
- Dilute local water chemistry.
- Damage equipment if leaked into sensitive areas (e.g., labs, electronics).

Acetaldehyde
- Chemical Structure: Acetaldehyde consists of two carbon atoms, one oxygen atom, and four hydrogen atoms. Its structure is CH3CHO, where the carbon atom in the middle is doubly bonded to an oxygen atom and singly bonded to a hydrogen atom and a methyl group (CH3).
- Occurrence: Acetaldehyde can be found naturally in various ripe fruits, coffee, and heated milk. It is also produced by the oxidation of ethanol (alcohol) by enzymes in the liver and other tissues in humans, making it an intermediate product in alcohol metabolism.
Butanol 99.4%
- n-Butanol (1-butanol): The "n" stands for "normal," indicating that the carbon chain is linear. It is often used as a solvent and in the production of plastics, coatings, and pharmaceuticals.
- Isobutanol (2-methyl-1-propanol): This isomer has a branched structure, with a methyl group (-CH3) attached to the second carbon atom. Isobutanol has applications as a solvent, in the production of various chemicals, and as a fuel additive.
- Sec-butanol (2-butanol): It has a branched structure, with the hydroxyl group attached to the second carbon atom. It's used as a solvent and in the manufacture of perfumes and pharmaceuticals.
- Tert-butanol (2-methyl-2-propanol): This isomer is highly branched, with the hydroxyl group attached to a carbon atom that is itself attached to three other carbon atoms. Tert-butanol is used primarily as a solvent and as a chemical intermediate.
