Propylene carbonate, 99%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

Cobalt(II) acetate tetrahydrate is used to prepare complexes for examination of the properties of metals with unusual coordination geometries. It is also used as a catalyst for oxidation and esterification.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Suitable for battery materials development.

Applications
Propylene carbonate is a polar, aprotic solvent used in paints and coatings and as a high-permittivity component of electrolytes in lithium batteries. It plays an important role in adhesives, paint strippers, cosmetics, plasticizer, hard surface cleaner, resin cleaner, fiberglass, polyester and polyurethane cleaner. Furthermore, it acts as a cleaner in polyurethane, a carburetor and is used in stereo lithography parts. In electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, it is doped into low surface tension solutions to enhance analyte charging.

Solubility
Miscible with water, alcohol, ether, acetone, benzene, chloroform and ethyl acetate.

Notes
Moisture sensitive. Hygroscopic. Incompatible with acids and bases.
