CAS No.: 7631-86-9
Silica Gel for Column Chromatography Product Image

Characteristics & Physical Properties

This product consists of white uniform irregular grains with silicon dioxide (SiO2) as its main component. It features high purity and high safety standards. Due to varying adsorption retention times for different substance components, it enables the effective separation and purification of complex mixtures.

Solubility & Structure: Insoluble in acids (except hydrofluoric acid), soluble in caustic alkali solutions. Compared with standard silica gel, it contains a higher concentration of surface hydroxyl groups, categorizing it as a high-purity reagent grade silica gel.
