Salicylonitrile (C7H5NO) draws attention in fine chemicals and pharmaceutical production. The molecular formula traces back to a benzene ring bound with a nitrile group, and the substance generally appears as a white solid with a specific density near 1.18 g/cm3. Its HS Code, vital for customs and trade, often falls under 2926909090, grouping it with organic nitrile compounds. Factories in China remain the primary source for bulk salicylonitrile, exporting material that meets ISO, SGS, REACH, and often kosher and halal certifications. These credentials give confidence to buyers who want assurance about compliance and quality.
Anyone who’s ever ordered raw chemicals will recognize the importance of a clear specification sheet. Purity ranges sit at 98% and above. Detailed TDS and SDS accompany each batch, showing melting point (ca. 38–40°C), boiling point (ca. 305°C), and CAS number 119-04-0. Manufacturers supply data on solubility (sparingly soluble in water), and solution preparation in the lab requires strict attention to MSDS guidance. Safety matters—salicylonitrile can be harmful if inhaled or ingested, and handling calls for gloves, goggles, and a solid ventilation setup. Factories that get certification right—ISO, REACH, SGS, halal, kosher—add a layer of trust in a market where the end-use sometimes enters pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals, so there’s no room for compromise.
China-based manufacturers serve as the backbone for global salicylonitrile supply chains. Buying at factory price, buyers request quotes reflecting MOQ (500 kg to 1 ton, often negotiable for trial orders). Offering free samples or liter-size solutions for R&D isn’t rare, helping R&D teams check properties before scaling up. Buyers push for various purchase terms, from CIF to FOB, based on logistics, timing, and cost control. Getting a good CIF price means looking beyond a single quote—comparing suppliers, checking REACH or ISO registration, and making sure the plant can deliver repeatable quality at scale. Material shipping runs as hazardous in many countries, so importers need to read the SDS, keep documentation in order, and coordinate customs clearance.
In practice, most demand tracks the downstream production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty intermediates. I’ve seen large buyers check property details—solubility in DMF or DMSO, thermal stability, and hazardous class—before pulling the trigger. Eco and safety policies around Europe and the US ask for REACH data and periodic renewals, while customers from the Middle East or Southeast Asia might request halal or kosher certifications. Factories who document every shipment—batch QC, SDS, TDS, SGS/ISO audits—avoid ugly surprises and lost orders. News cycles show an uptick in factory audits, stricter MSDS policies, and—importantly—policies penalizing suppliers who bypass safety or specification steps. Responsible procurement teams now verify certification, safe logistics, and updated HS codes before purchase.
The market keeps pushing for transparency, certification, and quick digital quote systems. Factories who react to inquiry fast, share documentation, and offer real batch samples keep winning business. Buyers get peace of mind, regulators track safety, and end users protect project value. Responsible chemical supply no longer stops at the dock; it follows every container from manufacturing line to lab bench, guided by standards and practical experience alike.
