High Purity and Reliable Performance

Our Acetonitrile guarantees an assay of at least 99.9%, meeting rigorous HPLC and analytical grade standards. This consistent purity ensures precise results in laboratory work, pharmaceutical synthesis, and industrial processes. Supplied in secure packaging options, from drums to bulk tankers, our product supports demanding applications with reliable quality.

Versatile Applications Across Industries

Valued for its miscibility with water, alcohol, and ether, Acetonitrile serves as an essential reagent for organic synthesis, a top choice for HPLC solvents, and a reliable laboratory chemical. Its stable, clear liquid form and low impurities make it integral in pharmaceutical manufacturing, analytical chemistry, and multiple industrial sectors.

Safe Storage and Handling Precautions

Due to its toxic properties and low flash point (2C), Acetonitrile requires careful handling and storage. Keep containers tightly closed and store the chemical in a cool, dry place away from ignition sources. With a shelf life of 24 months unopened, following recommended guidelines ensures product safety and longevity.

FAQs of Acetonitrile:

Q: How should Acetonitrile be stored to maintain its quality and safety?

A: Acetonitrile must be stored tightly closed in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Proper storage preserves its 99.9% purity and prevents degradation or moisture contamination. For optimal safety and shelf life, ensure containers remain sealed until use.

Q: What are the main industrial and laboratory uses of Acetonitrile?

A: Acetonitrile is widely used in pharmaceuticals as an intermediate, as a solvent for High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), in organic synthesis, and as an analytical reagent. Its excellent miscibility and low impurity profile make it ideal for precision applications across varied sectors.

Q: When is Acetonitrile considered expired or unusable for sensitive applications?

A: Acetonitrile retains suitability for sensitive applications up to 24 months from its manufacturing date if the container remains unopened. After this period, or if contamination occurs, the chemical may no longer meet required purity standards and should not be used for critical tasks.

Q: Where does Acetonitrile originate, and what is its standard packaging?

A: Our Acetonitrile is manufactured and exported from India, supplied in 160 kg drums, 20 litre jerry cans, or bulk tankers. The choice of packaging ensures safe transport and storage for both small-scale laboratories and large industrial buyers.

Q: What is the production process and capacity for Acetonitrile?

A: Acetonitrile is produced using a synthesis of acetylene and ammonia. Our facilities offer a production capacity of 500 metric tons per month, ensuring consistent availability and scalability for diverse requirements, from minimum orders of 200 litres to bulk supplies.

Q: Is Acetonitrile safe to use, and what precautions should be taken during handling?

A: Acetonitrile is toxic if inhaled or ingested, and has a low flash point (2C). It should be handled using appropriate personal protective equipment, in well-ventilated areas, and kept away from sources of ignition to reduce health and safety risks.

Q: What advantages does Acetonitrile offer as an HPLC solvent?

A: Its high assay (99.9%), low residue, and miscibility make Acetonitrile exceptionally suitable for HPLC applications, delivering reliable separation and reproducibility, essential for analytical accuracy in chemical laboratories and pharmaceutical research.
