6-Chloro-2-nitrobenzonitrile comes off like just another fine chemical, but anyone who’s spent time working with specialty chemicals knows each compound can become a bottleneck or a breakthrough. Its structure—C7H3ClN2O2, specific density usually steady at around 1.5 g/cm3—allows manufacturers and labs to use it as a building block for making advanced pharmaceuticals, performance dyes, and other value-added intermediates.
I learned early to check the HS Code: 292690. It crops up in customs documents and impacts tariffs, so nobody wants surprises there. China supply chains offer steady access, often with an MOQ starting at 1 kg or 25 kg drums direct from factory, fitted to OEM or custom inquiry. Those looking for price leverage often balance the decision—FOB or CIF, each with its draw. In my experience, regular price checks remain important as both factory and supply costs adjust monthly.
Every real buyer asks after more than price: MSDS, REACH, TDS, SGS reports, ISO, Halal, and Kosher certifications. Too many overlook MSDS when pushing for faster deals. This compound brings hazards—harmful if breathed, can irritate the skin and eyes. No one in my circle skips on gloves or goggles when weighing or opening drums. Responsible suppliers attach both SDS and updated TDS in every shipment, in step with global policy requirements. Some markets demand non-GMO tags or particular solution strength—usually dissolved in specific liters to spec.
Factual structure: benzene ring at the core, with chloro at position 6 and nitro at position 2, nitrile on the side. CAS number tags track logistics and serve customs efficiently. Before quoting, a supplier should confirm you get the exact product as per the molecular formula, batch COA, and photos—the days of generic or mislabeled product should be over. A simple request for a free sample often roots out anyone with cloudy sourcing or non-existent stock. Reputable suppliers stay ready to give you recent export case studies, customer references, and real certificates.
Factory price from top China producers usually includes official Halal, Kosher, and ISO paperwork—especially if you’re supplying end-use markets that audit compliance. SGS audits carry weight for international buyers, so I always encourage confirming third-party certificates, not just letters or PDFs stamped in-house. It protects your project and keeps customs waiting times short on both ends.
Freight varies seasonally; spring and autumn shipping brings different quotes, due to raw material market price oscillations. Strong suppliers avoid changing quality and keep specific density and appearance steady, shipment after shipment. REACH-compliant shipments matter for European buyers, while importers in other regions focus on detailed SDS, COA, and technical-grade properties. Minimum quantity (MOQ) sometimes negotiates down if the order fills a container or repeats monthly.
Inquiries move fast when buyers give enough detail: end-use, required documents, solution concentration (if not pure material), expected quantity, shipping conditions, and true destination. Sales teams with true chemical experience jump on these; generic traders often fumble specifics, causing risk of costly delays or compliance failures. OEM partners let you label under your own brand, if needed.
The takeaway? Markets keep evolving, but properly sourced 6-chloro-2-nitrobenzonitrile supports safe, steady progress in research and advanced manufacturing. Thoughtful supply, enough paperwork, transparent spec sheets, and smart shipping terms help buyers and suppliers build lasting partnerships—a lesson every professional keeps close.
