Steam Distilled Water

Steam distilled water is purified water obtained through the process of steam distillation, which involves boiling water to produce steam and then condensing the steam back into liquid form. This method effectively removes impurities, including minerals, organic compounds, and contaminants, resulting in high-purity water suitable for various applications.

Specifications:

• Purity Level: Typically 99.9% pure
• pH Level: Neutral (around 7.0)
• Conductivity: Very low (often < 1 µS/cm)
• Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): Typically < 10 ppm
• Appearance: Clear, colorless liquid
• Odor: Odorless

Composition:

Steam distilled water primarily consists of H₂O (water), with negligible amounts of dissolved gases or impurities. Since the distillation process removes most dissolved solids, the composition is effectively pure water.

Applications and Uses:

• Laboratories: Used in analytical chemistry, microbiology, and other scientific research to ensure accurate results without interference from impurities.
• Pharmaceuticals: Essential in the formulation of medications and as a solvent for drug preparation to ensure the absence of contaminants.
• Medical Use: Used in sterilization processes, autoclaves, and in medical devices where purity is critical.
• Industrial Applications: Employed in manufacturing processes, especially where water quality is crucial, such as in electronics and optics.
• Cosmetics and Personal Care: Used in formulations for skin care and beauty products due to its purity, minimizing the risk of irritation.
• Food and Beverage Industry: Utilized in the preparation of food and beverages where high-quality water is necessary to maintain safety and taste.
• Aquariums and Hydroponics: Ideal for fish tanks and hydroponic systems as it prevents unwanted chemicals from affecting aquatic life or plant growth.
• Household Use: Sometimes used in steam irons, humidifiers, and for cooking to avoid mineral buildup.
• Sterilisation, Colloidal Silver, Photography, Printing: Various other uses, including in sterilization and for better ice cubes, improved cocktails, and cooking applications.
• Steam Iron, Autoclaves, Instrument Washers: Commonly used in steam irons, germination of seeds, and as a water source in autoclaves and instrument washers.
• C-PAP Humidifiers, Wet Cell/Solar Batteries: Ideal for use in C-PAP humidifiers and in maintaining batteries.
• Cooking & Baking: Suitable for cooking vegetables, wheat/rice products, baking, and canning, where high purity is needed for food safety.
