SHORT DESCRIPTION

Ethyl Acetate 99.5% Extra Pure is a high-purity solvent widely used in analytical laboratories, chromatography, and sample preparation due to its fast evaporation and low toxicity. In laboratory settings, it’s valued for extraction, purification, and reaction medium roles, especially in organic synthesis. Its low water content and consistent purity make it suitable for GC/HPLC applications, adhesive formulations, and residue analysis. It must be handled in well-ventilated areas, away from heat or flame, and stored in tightly sealed containers to maintain its stability and prevent contamination.

Description

USES

Primary Laboratory Uses:

  1. Solvent in chromatography (TLC, HPLC, GC):
    Commonly used as a mobile phase or solvent for sample preparation due to its volatility and medium polarity. 
  2. Solvent for extraction and purification:
    Ideal for liquid-liquid extraction of organic compounds and for recrystallization procedures. 
  3. Solvent in organic synthesis:
    Used to dissolve reactants or as a reaction medium in chemical transformations. 
  4. Solvent for paints, coatings, and adhesives testing:
    Evaluated for its performance in solubility and formulation studies. 

Secondary Laboratory Uses:

  1. Drying agent in sample preparation:
    Assists in the removal of moisture from samples prior to analysis. 
  2. Cleaning and degreasing agent:
    Useful in cleaning lab glassware and equipment without leaving residues. 
  3. Intermediate in esterification and transesterification studies:
    Sometimes used as both reactant and solvent in academic or industrial synthesis. 
  4. Evaporation studies and volatility reference:
    Used to study evaporation rates in analytical or environmental testing.
