Average molecular weight is an important property of polymers and is an indication of strength and flexibility.
After use, the waste THF is contaminated with:
- Polymer fragments
- Monomers
- Other solvents
Name: Tetrahydrofuran
Formula: C4H80
Boiling Point: 66 °C
The 9600-90 is a good choice for recycling THF waste. Key features are:
- All glass and Teflon contact surfaces.
- High efficiency distillation. Get back HPLC grade THF
- Completely automatic. Push start and walk away.
- Safe! CE marked
