The product is offered in two different package sizes. The 1L variant is packaged in an aluminum bottle to minimize light exposure and prevent peroxide formation. On the other hand, the 4L variant is packaged in an amber glass bottle, which provides light protection. In terms of stability maintenance, the aluminum bottle is considered the preferable option.

General description
Ethyl ether (CH3CH2)2O is also referred to as sulfuric ether, diethyl ether, or just ether is used as a laboratory solvent. Ether is a desirable solvent for oils, fats, waxes, perfumes, dyes, resins, hydrocarbons, and gums. It is also used as fuel and to synthesize other chemical compounds.
Application
Ethyl ether can be used as:
- A solvent in organic reactions such as Grignard and Wurtz reactions.
- A solvent along with lithium perchlorate (LPDE) in the reductive monoalkylation of amines and its derivative with aldehyde.
- A solvent for the extraction and purification of (L+) lactic acid from fermented broth and synthesize PLA (polylactic acid).
