Diethyl ether 99.9 +% Ph. Eur. Stabilized 5 Liter

Diethyl ether, also known as Ethoxyethane or just Ether, is an organic connection with the chemical formula (C2H5) 2O. It is a colorless, volatile liquid with a characteristic sweet scent. Diethyl ether has been used for centuries in various applications, ranging from medical use to industrial processes. One of the most important applications of Diethyl ether is as a solvent. It has an excellent resolving capacity for many organic substances, making it a widely used solvent in laboratories and chemical industries. It is often used in the synthesis of chemical compounds, extraction of natural products and as reaction medium in various chemical reactions. In addition, Diethyl ether is also used as an anesthetic. It has a narcotic effect on the central nervous system and is therefore used as an inhalation anesthetic during surgical procedures. It is often mixed with other anesthetics to achieve the desired anesthetic effects. Although Diethyl ether has many applications, it is important to observe the safety instructions when using them. Diethyl ether is very volatile and can easily be flammable. It has a layer of flash point and can quickly ignite when exposing to open fire, sparks or hot surfaces. It is therefore essential to store Diethyl ether in a safe place, away from inflammatory sources. Moreover, Diethyl ether can also be irritating for the eyes, skin and airways with long -term exposure. It is important to wear protective clothing, such as gloves and safety glasses, when handling diethyl ether to prevent contact with the skin and eyes. It is also advisable to use Diethyl ether alone in well -ventilated spaces to minimize exposure to fumes. Finally, it is important to use and remove Diethyl ether in a responsible manner. It should not be discharged into the sewer or in nature, because it can be harmful to the environment. It must be removed in accordance with the applicable regulations and guidelines for chemical waste. In short, Diethylether is a versatile connection that is used as a solvent and anesthetic. It offers excellent resolving properties and has narcotic effects, but it must be treated with caution because of the volatility, flammability and possible irritation. Compliance with the safety instructions is essential to guarantee a safe use of Diethyl ether.
