| Synthetic Sea Water | Synthetic sea water, or artificial sea water, is a mixture of dissolved mineral salts that are normally found in the sea. As the name suggests, the substance is designed to simulate natural seawater. In doing so, it allows manufacturers to test the resistance of products to seawater without actually having to go to the ocean. Synthetic sea water contains a combination of minerals including sodium chloride, sodium sulfate and potassium chloride to name a few. Uses: Marine research, aquariums. Group: Chemical Reagents. Alternative Names: ASTM D1141-98. Pack Sizes: 25L, 1000 Litres. | Chemicals.co.uk |
| Tetrahydrofuran | Tetrahydrofuran, or THF, is a colourless and versatile heterocyclic compound with the chemical formula (CH2)4O. It has a pungent smell and is miscible with water. THF has a range of applications, including as a solvent for making polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The substance is also commonly used as a cleaning agent and a laboratory chemical. As tetrahydrofuran is highly flammable, it should be kept away from heat and ignition sources. Uses: Organic synthesis, solvent. Group: Solvents. Alternative Names: THF. CAS No. 109-99-9. Pack Sizes: 2.5L, 25 Litres. | Chemicals.co.uk |
| Toluene | Toluene is a colourless, sweet-smelling liquid with the chemical formula C7H8. Also known as methylbenzene, phenylmethane and methylbenzol, it's commonly used as a feedstock for various products like printing ink and rubber. It's also found in everyday items like paint, adhesives and nail varnish. Toluene is highly flammable and can cause severe neurological problems when inhaled at high concentrations. It should therefore be handled with care. Uses: Solvent, gasoline additive. Group: Solvents. Alternative Names: Methylbenzene, C7H8. Grades: LRG, Technical. CAS No. 108-88-3. Pack Sizes: 2.5L, 25L, 200 Litres. | Chemicals.co.uk |
| Ultrapure Water | Ultrapure water is a high grade of water that's free from impurities such as minerals, microbes and gases. It only contains H2O molecules and hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in equilibrium. Ultrapure water is commonly used in the medical sector for clinical diagnosis and testing, as well as cleaning equipment. Although it's made in a similar way to demineralised and deionised water, ultrapure water has its own distinct properties. Uses: Critical laboratory experiments, semiconductor industry. Group: Laboratory Chemicals. CAS No. 7732-18-5. Pack Sizes: 5L, 25L, 1000L, 25000 Litres Bulk. Categories: Methylbenzene. | Chemicals.co.uk |
| USP Purified Water | USP purified water is a type of water that's prepared from potable water. As the name suggests, it's undergone a process to remove its impurities and make it safe to drink. This grade of water is commonly used in the processing, formulation, and manufacture of pharmaceutical products. It must therefore comply with the internationally-recognised standards set out by the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP). USP water is also sometimes used an analytical reagent. Uses: Laboratory analysis, laboratory testing. Group: Pharmaceutical. CAS No. 7732-18-5. Pack Sizes: 1000L, 32X25L. | Chemicals.co.uk |
| USP Water for Injection | USP water for injection is a type of purified, distilled water that's commonly used in the processing, formulation, and manufacture of pharmaceutical products. It's also used in certain cleaning applications and as an analytical reagent. All water that's produced to USP standards must meet particular pH and conductivity specifications, and be virtually free of impurities such as chlorides, heavy metals, and nitrates. USP water for injection has a typical pH of 5.5. Uses: Laboratory testing, laboratory analysis. Group: Pharmaceutical. CAS No. 7732-18-5. Pack Sizes: 1000L, 32X25L. | Chemicals.co.uk |
