EDM Aluminum Chloride Chemistry Reagent

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.
