Anyone who’s been in chemical sourcing circles knows Hydracrylonitrile comes up often, both for its application value and the details needed before purchase. The molecular formula gives away its core: C4H5N. It usually appears as a clear or slightly yellow liquid and packs a specific density that puts it closer to other mid-weight nitriles. The material’s HS Code often falls under 2926909090, which matters for customs or tracking policies. Hydracrylonitrile finds its way into specialty polymer synthesis, resins, adhesives, and sometimes intermediates for pharmaceutical production.
Before anyone decides to buy, the MSDS and SDS can’t be skipped over. Hydracrylonitrile holds some hazardous material tags, requiring safe handling and storage under tight regulations. Chinese suppliers who pitch this material for sale must provide the updated SDS and, for international trade, REACH docs for EU buyers and ISO or SGS certificates for broader compliance. I notice some customers look for Kosher, Halal, or OEM certificates — the industry’s moving toward higher transparency on those fronts. It’s not just about price or MOQ; certs and documentation lay at the core of trusted supply.
Most Hydracrylonitrile hitting global markets comes direct from China, with both small-scale factories and larger, ISO-certified manufacturers offering raw materials in bulk. Factory price makes a big difference. I have seen purchase quotes based on CIF for bulk export ports like Shanghai or Qingdao, and FOB for spot deals. MOQ depends on purity and intended use, sometimes as low as 100L drums, sometimes requiring a full container for better price breaks.
A direct inquiry will trigger offers that list specific density, liter solution, hazardous status, and a full product specification sheet. Truth is, winning a good quote depends on a clear line of communication — buyers need to spell out their intended end use, any OEM or formula customs, and requirements for TDS or free samples. Chinese suppliers, especially those with stable export business, increasingly list their molecular property test results, and those who supply to regulated markets (Europe, North America) keep their documentation up to date.
Not every supplier delivers what they promise. In real life, some overseas buyers get caught with non-conforming samples, or documentation lacking REACH or ISO certification. Scam risk sits higher on marketplace sites without vetting. My advice to any buyer: check the certification (confirmed through a QR code or digital trace), ask for recent SDS with batch numbers, and request a free sample before bulk order. It pays off to deal with suppliers who lay out their factory price upfront, allow small MOQ for pilot plant testing, and won’t hide behind layers of trading companies.
With all the noise around new EU chemicals policy and global moves on hazardous raw materials, buyers need more than just the lowest quote. Segments of the China supply chain now update buyers on regulatory news, planned REACH status, and broader environmental certification. Some manufacturers pursue ISO 14001 for environmental management, SGS audits for export, and even halal or kosher certifications to reach some strict export markets. As buying shifts to smarter, safer choices, open and honest platforms with clear inquiry-to-quote procedures win trust and repeated business.
