Fluoranthene

Fluoranthene (CAS 206-44-0), also known as Idryl, is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon sourced primarily as a coal tar and petroleum refining byproduct. It serves as a reference standard and analytical marker in environmental monitoring programs. In the oil, gas, and energy sectors, this compound is used as a certified reference standard for calibrating analytical instruments that detect PAH contamination in soil, water, and sediment samples.

Environmental testing laboratories rely on it to validate GC-MS and HPLC methods required under regulatory compliance frameworks such as EPA Method 8270. This ensures accuracy in industrial research applications. Research institutions use this chemical as a building block in organic electronics development, particularly in the synthesis of fluorescent dyes and organic semiconductor materials for advanced technology.

It also appears in combustion research as a tracer compound for studying soot formation and hydrocarbon pyrolysis processes. This makes it essential for understanding complex chemical reactions in energy production. The product is supplied as a pale yellow to white crystalline solid. It is available in research-grade and certified reference standard grades, with purity levels typically ranging from 98% up to 99.5%+.

Packaging options range from small quantities for laboratory use to larger bulk formats for industrial research procurement. We ensure high quality standards for all analytical and industrial applications.
