HYDRANAL®

One-component Reagents
 

Composition

HYDRANAL®-Composite is the world's most frequently used pyridine-free Karl Fischer reagent for one-component titration. It contains all the reactants, i.e. iodine, sulfur dioxide and imidazole, dissolved in diethyleneglycol monoethyl ether (DEGEE).
Our HYDRANAL R & D laboratory has recently developed an improved formulation for HYDRANAL®-Composite by using a mixture of imidazole and 2-methylimidazole instead of imidazole only. Significant improvements in the properties of HYDRANAL®-Composite have been obtained as a result of this change.


Stability

HYDRANAL®-Composite is stabilized with DEGEE. The loss of titre is approx. 5% a year. Other Karl Fischer reagents contain 2-methoxyethanol (2-ME).


Toxicity

DEGEE is non-harzardous unlike 2-ME which is fetotoxic and teratogenic. All HYDRANAL®-Composites are pyridine free and free of 2-methoxyethanol. Toxicological studies are done.


Advantages of the one-component titration

  • Unlimited water capacity.
  • Three different titres available.
  • Also convenient for the analysis of ketones.
  • Widely used: many different applications for the determination of 1 - 100 mg water.
  • Suitable for customary volumetric Karl Fischer titrators.
