On the market, 4-T-Butylbenzonitrile—molecular formula C11H13N (CAS 19094-56-5)—finds steady demand as a raw material. Specialty chemical companies use it for fine chemicals, pharmaceutical intermediates, and surface-active agents. With a specific gravity of around 0.97 g/cm3, the material keeps its place thanks to stability, a reliable boiling point near 265°C, and a reputation for high purity. Suppliers in China, especially certified manufacturers, pay close attention to MSDS, REACH, SDS, TDS, ISO, SGS standards, and offer kosher/halal-certified solutions on request.
Many global markets ask about HS Code 2926909090 for customs clearance and logistics mapping. Buyers in Europe or Southeast Asia often check CIF and FOB prices directly with Chinese suppliers. At this level, “chemical-buy-supplier-manufacturer-factory-price” searches matter, not only for transparency but also for cost control. Where I’ve seen the pressure build most is in specialty procurement: buyers expect fast quotes, responsive inquiry follow-up, and paperwork with every liter or drum—SDS, COA, and certifications in hand.
4-T-Butylbenzonitrile stands out as a colorless or pale yellow solid, melting at 51–54°C, soluble in organic solvents. Chemists and R&D managers lean on this compound for its aromatic structure with a strong t-butyl group, making it a versatile piece for downstream modification. Surface chemistry and pharmaceutical applications rely on its reactivity and stability as a nitrile.
Benzonitrile derivatives often raise questions about material hazards and labor safety. Every batch flows with its MSDS/SDS, clearly labeled as harmful if swallowed or inhaled, irritating to eyes and respiratory tract. PPE, local exhaust, and spill containment keep workers safe. From my experience, companies that ignore these safety basics pay dearly—regulators don’t blink if policies go slack. No responsible factory skips REACH or local compliance, not if they plan to ship to Europe or North America.
Factories in China set MOQ based on actual production runs, often 100kg, but some keep samples free for lab validation. Purchase size, custom synthesis, or color specification drive final pricing. The smartest buyers don’t just compare price per kilo; they check manufacturing date, shipment documentation, and whether the offer includes SGS, ISO, halal, or kosher certificates. In my work, pushing for a TDS and COA up front saves time and cost down the line.
A solid supplier answers quickly, provides structured quotes—listing price, packaging (fiber drum, steel drum), HS-Code for customs, and clear policy on hazardous goods shipment. OEM and private label options come with NDAs and factory tours for serious buyers. Policies around payment (LC/TT/Credit), port options (Shanghai, Qingdao), and post-sale service give buyers real leverage.
People in procurement want more than a number on a quote—they want to know about policy changes, cost control, and new environmental rules. China’s chemical sector faces shifting domestic policy, so agile suppliers update certification, trace raw material sources, and stay ahead of REACH, SGS, and ISO audits. Transparency builds trust. Factories that run regular compliance checks, keep materials separated, and list hazards clearly win more long-term buyers.
If the world moves to safer solvents or demands stricter supply chain audits, manufacturers need to meet or beat these new limits fast. Keeping up with news, licensing, and certification trends matters as much as cutting unit price. Smart chemical distributors combine this approach: responding fast to inquiries, delivering reliable lab samples, and making sure paperwork lines up for smooth global shipment. Chemical firms grow strongest when they put product info, policy compliance, and responsive service on equal footing.
