Description

Potassium Sodium 2,6-Dichlorosalicylate is a high-purity organic salt derivative of salicylic acid, valued for its role as a key synthetic intermediate and analytical reagent. Its primary commercial importance lies in its utility for the preparation of more complex pharmaceutical and agrochemical compounds. This product is essential for research and development laboratories, fine chemical synthesis, and quality control units within the pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing industries.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A crucial building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for anti-inflammatory and analgesic drug candidates.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production pathway for certain herbicides and fungicides, leveraging the bioactive salicylate core.
• Chemical Research & Development: Serves as a versatile starting material or reagent in organic synthesis for creating novel compounds in academic and industrial R&D settings.
• Analytical Chemistry: Can be employed as a standard or reference material in chromatographic (HPLC) and spectroscopic analyses for method development and validation.
• Dye & Pigment Manufacturing: Acts as a precursor in the synthesis of specific azo dyes and colorants due to its reactive phenolic and carboxylic groups.
• Coordination Chemistry: Functions as a ligand for metal ions, useful in catalysis research and the preparation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).

Quality Control

Our Potassium Sodium 2,6-Dichlorosalicylate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, purity assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets stringent specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your quality requirements.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and stability.
