Propionitrile stands out as a versatile organic chemical, known among suppliers and manufacturers for its value in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals. With a molecular formula of C3H5N and HS Code 2926909090, this clear, colorless liquid shows a specific density of about 0.79 g/cm³. Its structure (a nitrile group linked to an ethyl chain) gives it a combination of reactivity and stability for use in many chemical syntheses.
China remains a key hub for propionitrile production. Chinese factories and suppliers keep costs competitive and offer a wide selection with transparency, offering MSDS, SDS, and TDS for product safety. Prices are typically quoted FOB or CIF, and suppliers stay up to date with international certifications, including REACH, ISO, SGS, Halal, and Kosher standards. OEM services reflect the importance of customization for industry buyers.
This material often appears as a solvent or reactant in synthesizing active pharmaceutical ingredients, pesticide intermediates, and as a precursor for other specialty chemicals. In my own dealings with research labs and manufacturing setups, inquiries about raw materials rarely exclude questions about batch size (MOQ), sample availability, and up-to-date pricing versus global policies. Propionitrile’s regulatory compliance and traceable paperwork, such as MSDS and COA, help buyers make informed decisions. Safe packaging, accurate labeling, and detailed documentation support hazard management for both frequent and new users.
Factory price depends on order quantity, purity requirements (commonly 99%+), and current market news. Serious buyers check for detailed specifications, often requesting liter samples or free small samples before big purchases. News about shifts in China’s export policy or global chemical regulations can impact supply, lead time, and cost—something I’ve seen firsthand during periods of trade tension or tightening environmental rules.
Propionitrile deserves respect in handling. It’s classified as hazardous and harmful, requiring careful storage and workforce training. Reliable suppliers provide MSDS and hazard labeling, but actual safety still comes down to how facilities follow these guidelines. I remember visiting a plant in Jiangsu: every drum had QR codes for digital SDS access, a step forward that gave workers quick safety references and reassured downstream customers about compliance and best practice. Insisting on suppliers who treat safe transport, labeling, and certification as routine lowers the risk of accidents and unexpected regulatory trouble.
More buyers now ask about supply provenance, ISO procedures, and halal/kosher certification, recognizing that end customers—from pharmaceuticals to cosmetics—demand traceability. As competition increases and more international firms engage with China, the bar for documentation and service rises. Companies regularly offer real-time quotations, prompt sample shipment, and responsive customer support via direct inquiry channels. Technological upgrades, whether in digital documentation or logistics tracking, not only boost buyer confidence but also reduce purchase friction for new partners.
