P-Hydroxyphenylacetonitrile, known for the molecular formula C8H7NO, shows up in many conversations among researchers and manufacturers. Found listed under HS Code 2926909090, this compound’s chemical structure—benzene ring topped with a hydroxy and acetonitrile group—brings reactive potential into the lab and the factory floor. At room temperature, it usually appears as an off-white to beige crystalline solid. Its specific density runs near 1.14 g/cm3, with slight solubility in water and better mixing with organic solvents.
Many customers looking to add value in pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals part ways with standard raw materials after discovering P-Hydroxyphenylacetonitrile’s stability and aromatic backbone. It often acts as a raw material for synthesis—flavor compounds, dyes, intermediates that wind up in bigger molecules. In my experience visiting production sites in China, teams rely on this compound’s solid specs for batch consistency.
In formulation labs, it often fuels the search for efficiency. Chemists note its boiling point around 285°C, melting near 78°C, and appreciate its reactivity for custom projects. It attracts attention as "chemical-buy-supplier-manufacturer-factory-price" interests expand, since teams want a chemical that offers both reliability and clear documentation.
Responsible sourcing now means looking past low "China-supply" pricing. Buyers want transparency—MSDS, safety data, and certification proof from SGS, ISO, or more specific needs like halal, kosher, or OEM status. Bulk buyers in Europe can’t ignore REACH registration or a complete TDS (technical data sheet) attached to a product inquiry.
Safety jumps to the front of discussions. Although known as a hazardous and harmful raw material, accidents fall off when SOPs get followed and teams consult the MSDS before storing or mixing. Those in charge of storage also look at its stability in liter-solution format, and keep containers sealed as recommended in the guidelines.
Negotiating minimum order quantity (MOQ), quotation terms (CIF or FOB), and requesting a free sample remains routine. My own attempts to set up deals between buyers and factories often hit snags unless suppliers are upfront with CIF Shanghai or FOB Qingdao pricing, payment terms, and logistics details. Experience taught me that a straightforward quote up front builds trust faster than any technical pitch.
Many labs and purchasing agents push for "for sale" conditions where responsiveness to small batch customizations sets one supplier apart from another. Quick dispatch of inquiries, tailored quotes, and news of changing policy around export controls play directly into the decision-making loop.
Business news hints at tightening oversight—global buyers want more than a fair price; assurance about policy compliance and product consistency matters. Strong certification, up-to-date SDS and TDS sheets, and close attention to ISO and SGS standards drive long-term relationships.
Market stakeholders push for more than transaction-based engagement. Real value surfaces when buyers, suppliers, and manufacturers work closely—polishing the process from quote to certification. Discussions about safe handling, options for liter-solution, and clarity on hazardous classification push every company toward better practices.
