General information

Desiccants

Desiccants can absorb water and bind it chemically (reversibly or irreversibly) or physically. The main desiccants can be subdivided into four categories:

  • non-renewable chemical desiccants
  • renewable chemical desiccants
  • silica gels
  • molecular sieves

Bases

Many reaction mechanisms require deprotonation so that the desired reaction can take place. The strength of the required bases depends entirely on the application. Carl ROTH supplies a wide selection of bases which play an important role in organic synthesis.
