Understanding the Specifications and Storage of Electronic Grade Cyclohexanone
For industries that rely on high-purity chemicals, understanding the detailed specifications and proper handling procedures is critical for successful implementation. Electronic grade cyclohexanone, a key solvent in sectors like electronics manufacturing and advanced chemical synthesis, is no exception. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides electronic grade cyclohexanone that adheres to stringent quality standards, and this article delves into its typical specifications and essential storage guidelines.
The primary defining characteristic of electronic grade cyclohexanone is its exceptional purity. Standard specifications often include a purity level of ≥99% by GC analysis, but for highly sensitive applications, even higher purities exceeding 99.9% may be available. Crucially, the content of single metal ions is typically kept at exceptionally low levels, often below 0.1 ppb, which is vital for semiconductor fabrication and other microelectronic processes where even trace metal contamination can lead to device failure. Water content is also minimized, usually specified at ≤0.2%, measured by Karl Fischer titration, to prevent unwanted side reactions or interference.
Other important specifications may include the residue on evaporation, which should be very low (e.g., ≤0.01%), indicating that the solvent leaves behind no significant solid deposits. The appearance is described as a colorless transparent liquid, and any deviation from this may indicate contamination or degradation. When manufacturers look to buy electronic grade cyclohexanone, they rely on these specifications to ensure the product meets their process requirements. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides detailed certificates of analysis with their products to confirm adherence to these critical parameters.
Proper storage of electronic grade cyclohexanone is equally important to maintain its quality and ensure safety. The product is typically packaged in PFA containers or other materials that comply with environmental export requirements, often in 25kg net weight drums or as specified by the customer. It is recommended to store the cyclohexanone in a sealed container, in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from sources of heat and ignition. Avoiding direct sunlight is also advisable to prevent potential degradation or evaporation.
Due to its nature as a volatile organic compound (VOC), adherence to safety protocols during storage and handling is non-negotiable. Proper ventilation in storage areas helps to prevent the buildup of flammable vapors and reduces exposure risks. Containers should be clearly labeled and kept tightly closed when not in use. Furthermore, it’s important to segregate cyclohexanone from incompatible materials, such as strong oxidizing agents, acids, and bases, to prevent hazardous reactions.
By understanding and adhering to the specifications and storage recommendations for electronic grade cyclohexanone, users can maximize its performance and ensure the safety of their operations. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. stands ready to supply this high-quality chemical, backed by the technical expertise and commitment to customer support that guarantees satisfaction.
