Description
Sorbic acid is an extra-pure carboxylic acid meeting min. 99 % and Ph.Eur. quality for laboratory and pharmacopoeia-oriented work. It has the empirical formula C₆H₈O₂, a molar mass of 112,13 g/mol and CAS number 110-44-1, with EG nr. 203-768-7 for unambiguous substance identification. Reported physical data include a density of 1,201 to 1,203 g/cm³, a flash point of 127 °C and a boiling range of 160 to 260 °C, supporting safe handling assessments and process documentation. The product is Material from manufacturer Carl ROTH is suited to laboratories that require Ph.Eur.-aligned sorbic acid with clearly stated purity and physicochemical parameters. Typical contexts include preservative-related research, method development and teaching practicals where a well-characterised unsaturated fatty acid is needed. Pack size, purity grade and documented constants together enable straightforward integration into controlled laboratory workflows.

Questions about Sorbic acid, min. 99 %, Ph.Eur., extra pure, 250 g, plastic
What is this article?
Sorbic acid, min. 99 %, Ph.Eur., extra pure, 250 g, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Acids, inside Acids & bases, in Lab chemicals.
An acid on this shelf is the substance itself, concentrated or as a stated solution: hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric, acetic and the rest. Concentration, purity and the trace metals decide the use. A concentrated acid and a volumetric solution of the same name are different products, and both burn.
An acid donates a proton. A base accepts one. In the bottle, the practical differences are the concentration, the purity and the anion or cation that comes along. Concentrated mineral acids are a different article from a dilute volumetric solution. The water in the acid, and the trace metals, decide whether it can be used for analysis. Check the substance on PubChem and the classification on ECHA CLP. Transport is the UNECE dangerous-goods framework. The legal texts are the CLP Regulation and REACH.
Which category should I open next?
