Trimethylpentane (2,2,4-), ACS Grade – C₈H₁₈ | CAS 540-84-1
Product Overview
Trimethylpentane (2,2,4-), also known as iso-octane, ACS Grade, is a high-purity hydrocarbon that meets or exceeds American Chemical Society specifications for reagent use. It is a key reference compound in fuel research due to its defined octane rating of 100, and its excellent volatility and low reactivity make it ideal for laboratory and industrial applications. Iso-octane is primarily used as a non-polar solvent and performance benchmark in fuel testing and formulation.
Key Industries
- Petroleum & Fuel Testing – Primary reference standard for octane number calibration
- Analytical Chemistry – Non-polar solvent for GC calibration and hydrocarbon analysis
- Automotive Research – Used in fuel formulation and combustion studies
- Chemical Manufacturing – Acts as an inert carrier solvent or reaction medium
- Environmental Testing – Utilized in hydrocarbon contamination studies
Packaging Options
Trimethylpentane (2,2,4-), ACS Grade is offered in amber glass bottles, metal cans, and DOT-approved drums to ensure purity and safe handling. Custom volumes and specialty containers are available for fuel laboratories and analytical environments requiring strict control and traceability.
