Product Overview
Bromoethane, commonly known as Ethyl Bromide, is a premier alkylating agent extensively utilized in the fields of organic synthesis and pharmaceutical manufacturing. As a critical chemical intermediate, it facilitates the introduction of ethyl groups into various molecular structures, enabling the production of complex compounds required for advanced material science and drug development. Our facility produces this compound under stringent quality control measures to ensure consistency and reliability for large-scale industrial operations.
This colorless transparent liquid is characterized by its high volatility and specific reactivity profile, making it an indispensable solvent and reagent in laboratory and plant settings. We prioritize safety and purity in every batch, ensuring that the product meets international standards for hazardous chemical handling and performance efficacy.
Key Specifications
Quality assurance is paramount in chemical manufacturing. Our Bromoethane undergoes rigorous testing to verify physical and chemical properties. The following table outlines the standard specifications guaranteed for our commercial grades:
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Appearance | Colorless transparent liquid |
| Purity (HPLC) | ≥99.0% |
| Moisture Content | ≤0.05% |
| Non-volatile Matter | ≤50ppm |
| pH Value | 6.0-8.0 |
| Density | 1.46 g/cm³ |
| Boiling Point | 37-40°C |
Maintaining low moisture levels and high purity is essential to prevent side reactions during sensitive synthesis processes. Our advanced distillation and drying technologies ensure that these parameters are consistently met or exceeded.
Industrial Applications
Bromoethane serves multiple roles across various chemical sectors. Its versatility allows it to function as both a reactant and a medium for reaction. Key application areas include:
- Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Used as an ethylating agent in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and intermediates.
- Organic Chemistry: Facilitates Grignard reactions and other alkylation processes essential for building complex organic molecules.
- Industrial Solvent: Acts as an effective solvent for fats, oils, and resins in specific manufacturing contexts.
- Refrigerant History: Historically utilized in cooling systems, though now primarily reserved for chemical synthesis due to safety regulations.
Safety and Handling
As with all volatile organic compounds, proper handling procedures are critical. Bromoethane is flammable and should be stored in cool, well-ventilated areas away from ignition sources. We provide comprehensive Safety Data Sheets (SDS) with every shipment to ensure compliance with local and international transportation regulations. Our packaging options include 250 kg drums, with customization available to meet specific logistical requirements.
