Description

Adiponitrile CAS NO 111-69-3 is a high-purity, colorless to pale yellow liquid organic compound, serving as a critical intermediate in industrial organic synthesis. Its primary commercial value lies in its role as the direct precursor for the production of hexamethylenediamine (HMDA), a key monomer for nylon 6,6. This chemical is essential for manufacturers in the polymer, fiber, and specialty chemical industries seeking reliable, high-quality raw materials for large-scale production processes.

Application

• Primary Intermediate for Nylon 6,6: The dominant application is the catalytic hydrogenation to produce hexamethylenediamine (HMDA), which is then reacted with adipic acid to manufacture nylon 6,6 polymer.
• Electrolyte Additive: Used in the formulation of electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries to enhance stability and performance at high voltages.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Serves as a versatile dinitrile precursor in the synthesis of various amines, diamines, and other nitrogen-containing compounds for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Precursor: Employed in the production of specific amine-based corrosion inhibitors for industrial water treatment and metalworking fluids.
• Specialty Polymer Modifier: Acts as a comonomer or cross-linking agent in the production of certain polyamides, polyurethanes, and other specialty polymers to modify properties.

Quality Control

Our Adiponitrile is produced under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for demanding industrial applications. Quality is verified through comprehensive analytical testing including gas chromatography (GC) and titration methods. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, moisture content, and key impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong acids and strong oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize moisture absorption and prevent evaporation.
