3-Aminopropionitrile CAS 151-18-8

3-Aminopropionitrile (CAS 151-18-8) is a bifunctional organic compound containing both amine and nitrile groups, making it a useful intermediate in chemical synthesis. It is commonly used in the preparation of specialty chemicals, including derivatives for polymers, pharmaceuticals, and other functional materials where reactive nitrogen and nitrile groups are required.

In industrial supply, 3-Aminopropionitrile is typically provided as a clear liquid suitable for direct use in synthesis processes. It is handled as a reactive intermediate rather than a finished formulation component. Standard packaging is available for liquid chemicals, with supporting documentation such as COA, TDS, and SDS provided for procurement and safe handling.

Packaging

3-Aminopropionitrile is supplied as a liquid and is typically packed in sealed drums or intermediate bulk containers (IBC) suitable for organic chemicals. Containers are selected to ensure compatibility and to prevent contamination or leakage during storage and transport.

For export supply, packaging is prepared to maintain product stability and safe handling. Packaging configurations may be adjusted depending on order volume and logistics requirements.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent contamination and exposure to moisture. Handle in accordance with standard safety practices for amine-containing chemicals.
