About This Product
Acetaldehyde is used in controlled demonstrations of aldehyde functional groups, in discussions of carbonyl chemistry, oxidation and reduction, and in teacher-supervised preparations where it is specifically required. Trained staff wear chemical splash goggles, gloves and a lab coat, use only the minimum quantity the written procedure allows, and close the container straight after dispensing. Residues go to hazardous chemical waste.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How is acetaldehyde stored?
As a highly flammable, volatile reagent it is kept in flammable-liquid storage, away from heat, sparks, oxidising agents and ignition sources, and out of reach of unauthorised users.
