About Isooctane, GR 99.5%+

Listed under CAS 540-84-1, Isooctane is an analytical reagent grade solvent available from Vaqora Chemicals (AR grade) at a purity of ≥99.5%. Formula C8H18, molecular weight 114.23 g/mol. The IUPAC name is 2,2,4-trimethylpentane. It is also known as Iso-Octane or TMP.

In its supplied form it is a colourless liquid. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from sources of ignition, with the container tightly sealed. Under GHS it is labelled “Danger”, so handle it with suitable PPE and consult the SDS.

Key uses span analytical reagent work, extraction and recrystallisation, titrimetric analysis and organic synthesis. Buyers come mainly from academic and industrial research and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Standard pack sizes are 500 mL, 5 L, 4 x 25 kg and 203 L, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
