FAQs
Is technical grade impure?
Not necessarily. Many technical-grade chemicals are high purity, but trace impurities are not specified or limited as they are in reagent grades.
Can technical grade be used in a laboratory?
For cleaning or non-critical preparations, possibly. For experiments and analysis, LR or higher is advisable because of lot-to-lot variability.
Can technical grade be used in food or medicines?
No. Food and pharmaceutical uses require food-grade or pharmacopoeial materials produced under appropriate quality systems.
