Product Code. 17885616

Brand: MP Biomedicals 0206031

Description

MP EcoChrom™ Alumin R is an acid alumina, developed for use in isotope chemistry.

Application Notes:

• MP EcoChrom™ Alumina R catalyses a variety of reactions that are useful industrially.

It is used:

• To remove water from gas streams for its hardness and strength.
• As an abrasive, including as a much less expensive substitute for industrial diamond.
• Many types of sandpaper use aluminium oxide crystals.
• In chemistry laboratories, alumina is a medium for chromatography, available in basic (pH 9.5), acidic (pH 4.5 when in water) and neutral formulations.
• Acidic alumina, is the weakest and least often used type.
• Alumina is useful for separation of acid pigments and strong acids.

It can cause:

• Polymerization condensation dehydration reactions.
• Neither acetone nor ethyl acetate should be used as eluants, the latter being subject to saponification.
• As well, it is used as a dosimeter for radiation protection and therapy applications for its optically stimulated luminescence properties.

Usage Statement:

• Unless specified otherwise, MP Biomedical's products are for research or further manufacturing use only, not for direct human use.

Key Applications:

• Chromatography
• Adsorbants
