Solid Sodium Ethoxide

Overview: Solid sodium ethoxide is a white or slightly yellow hygroscopic powder that readily decomposes in air and tends to turn black during storage.It dissolves in anhydrous ethanol without decomposing. Sodium ethylate rapidly turns black in air due to oxidation. In humid environments, natrium ethoxide hydrolyzes to produce sodium hydroxide and ethanol: C2H5ONa + H2O → C2H5OH + NaOH. Therefore, sodium ethoxide powder reagents often contain a small amount of sodium hydroxide.

Packaging, Storage, Handling, and Transportation

 

  • Solid sodium ethylate is packaged in 200L steel drums or cardboard drum.
  • Packaging Specifications: 20 kg/cardboard drum, 420 drums/20ft container
  • 80 kg/steel drum, 160 drums/40ft container

 

This product should be stored in its original packaging or a suitable airtight container in a dry place. The ideal storage environment is away from direct sunlight and in low humidity. Contact with water or air will cause sodium ethoxide powder to decompose rapidly or spontaneously combust; therefore, it should be stored in a sealed container. Precautions must be taken to avoid contact with skin or eyes. In case of sodium ethoxide combustion, do not use water to extinguish the fire; cover it with sand.
