Deionised Water

Deionised water, also known as demineralised water, is water that has been purified to remove all ions and impurities. This is typically achieved through a process of ion exchange, which eliminates cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negatively charged ions) from the water. The result is a high-purity water that is free from minerals, salts, and other contaminants, making it suitable for various applications in laboratories, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial processes.

Purity: Deionised water is free from dissolved salts, minerals, and organic compounds, ensuring a clean and uncontaminated product.

Consistency: Provides a consistent quality, which is crucial in laboratory and industrial settings where water quality can affect results and processes.

Reduced Risk of Contamination: Since it lacks minerals and impurities, deionised water minimises the risk of reactions or interactions with other substances in formulations.

Versatile Use: Suitable for use in a wide range of applications, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, cleaning, and laboratory experiments.

Cosmetic Formulations: Commonly used as a solvent in creams, lotions, and serums to create a stable base for other active ingredients.

Pharmaceuticals: Essential in the production of injectable drugs, eye drops, and other sterile products.

Laboratories: Used for rinsing laboratory equipment, preparing solutions, and conducting various chemical analyses.

Industrial Applications: Employed in cooling systems, boiler feedwater, and other industrial processes where mineral-free water is required.

Chemical Formula: H2O

Appearance: Clear, colourless liquid

Odour: Odourless

pH Level: Typically neutral (around 7), but can vary slightly depending on the storage conditions and exposure

Conductivity: Very low conductivity (typically less than 5 µS/cm), indicating a low level of ionic content

Conditions: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the container tightly closed to prevent contamination and maintain product integrity.

Temperature: Ideal storage temperature is between 15 °C and 30 °C (59 °F and 86 °F)
