Description

Sodium Dicyanamide CAS NO 1934-75-4 is a versatile inorganic salt widely used as a key chemical intermediate in organic synthesis. Its primary value lies in its role as a precursor for the production of guanidine derivatives and other nitrogen-containing compounds. This product is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries seeking reliable, high-purity raw materials for their processes.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A crucial building block for synthesizing guanidine-based active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), including antidiabetic and antiviral drugs.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators that contain guanidine or biguanide functional groups.
• Flame Retardant Production: Serves as a key raw material in manufacturing guanidine phosphate and other nitrogen-phosphorus based flame retardants for polymers and textiles.
• Epoxy Curing Agent Precursor: Employed in the synthesis of dicyandiamide derivatives, which are widely used as latent curing agents for epoxy resin systems.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Utilized in various organic reactions to introduce the cyanoguanidine moiety, enabling the creation of heterocyclic compounds and fine chemicals.
• Water Treatment Chemicals: Acts as an intermediate for producing guanidine salts used in scale and corrosion inhibition formulations.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Dicyanamide is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, identity, and impurity profiles. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting results for assay, heavy metals, loss on drying, and related substances are available for every shipment. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our customers in regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can lead to caking or degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizers.
