Diethoxyacetonitrile plays a unique role in chemical synthesis. I’ve seen it pop up in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty material production. Its applications keep expanding as R&D pushes demand for rare chemical building blocks. For a lot of purchasing teams, sourcing starts with figuring out true market supply and identifying reliable partners for consistent batches.
China supplies much of the global diethoxyacetonitrile. Factories here often offer a wide range of packaging — bulk drums or customized solutions for smaller runs. Inquiries usually boil down to price per kilogram, minimum order quantity (MOQ), and how quickly the team can send a quote via CIF or FOB. Experienced chemical buyers can spot the difference between a reseller and a factory-direct manufacturer: a true factory answers technical questions directly, handles custom purity requirements, and shares detailed specifications.
Every batch ships with a certificate outlining purity, appearance, and impurities. Formulas and chemical structures aren’t just for reference — they're crucial for regulatory filings. Diethoxyacetonitrile has a molecular formula of C5H9NO2 and a density around 0.98 g/cm3. Its HS Code, often 2926909090, gets flagged on customs paperwork, and MSDS/SDS sheets must match your own protocols. I always ask for updated ISO or SGS certification as standard checks.
Labs and warehouses classify diethoxyacetonitrile as hazardous. The raw material’s strong odor signals danger: always use gloves and eye protection during transfers. Spills need neutralization, not just wiping up. Fire and explosion risks may increase under improper storage, so I insist teams review the latest ACGIH and REACH compliance checklists. Factories should regularly refresh TDS and have SDS ready for each lot.
Multinational brands prefer halal and kosher-certified materials to reach wider markets. If a buyer plans export to Middle East or Southeast Asia, certification matters as much as price. A good Chinese maker lists halal or kosher on their quote and can get it renewed each batch. OEM/private label customers also look for consistent bulk supply and flexibility. Quotes with clear INCOTERMS, volume breaks, and a COA fill procurement needs without back-and-forth.
Factory prices shift month-to-month as raw material costs climb or drop. Most buyers track news about tariffs, changes to HS codes, and updates in EU REACH requirements. A price sheet means nothing if the maker can’t support changing order sizes, fast lead times, and transparent freight calculations. CIF Shanghai or FOB Qingdao quotes keep risk manageable — I always push for sample lots before any big run. Free samples help teams run quick compatibility tests and review MSDS compliance at source.
Buyers who keep their own technical reference sheets — structure, density, boiling point — catch mismatches before they slow production. Close coordination with the raw material supplier prevents costly downtime. Every safe manufacturer invests in responsive service, real documentation, and fully certified supply chains. The real value comes from strong partnerships, not one-off sales.
