Description

Application
Used to prepare pellets for FT-IR spectroscopy (sample mixed with KBr and pressed into a disc). Acts as a matrix material for analyzing solid samples in IR studies. Common in analytical and research laboratories.

Purpose
Provides a transparent medium for infrared light allowing accurate measurement of sample spectra. Ensures minimal interference or absorption during FT-IR analysis.

General Description
It is a white crystalline transparent solid. FT-IR grade means it is extremely pure and free from moisture and impurities. It is highly transparent to infrared (IR) radiation which is essential for analysis.
