Is Guanidine Carbonate interchangeable with Guanidine Hydrochloride?

No. Guanidine Carbonate, CAS 593-85-1, and Guanidine Hydrochloride, CAS 50-01-1, are different salts with different counterions, molecular weights and alkalinity. Confirm the required guanidine salt and its end-use behavior before substitution.

What is Guanidine Carbonate used for?

It is used as a mild guanidine source in textile and paper auxiliaries, flame-retardant and resin systems, pharmaceutical or heterocyclic synthesis, and other guanidine derivatives. The technical grade is chosen by the downstream process.

Which quality limits are useful for industrial Guanidine Carbonate?

Besides assay and water, sensitive applications may require limits for iron, total triazines, solution color or clarity, and UV absorbance at specified wavelengths. Confirm the test methods and the acceptance range for the intended use.

How should Guanidine Carbonate be packed and stored before use?

It is hygroscopic, so the commercial powder should remain sealed in moisture-resistant packaging and be stored cool and dry. Confirm the inner liner, net weight, storage temperature and whether the grade is supplied as powder or another form.

What physical and solution properties should be expected for Guanidine Carbonate?

Guanidine Carbonate is typically a white to almost-white crystalline powder that is freely soluble in water but poorly soluble in ethanol. Its aqueous solution is alkaline, and the material is hygroscopic; confirm solubility, solution pH, color/clarity and drying loss against the agreed specification.

Guanidine Carbonate CAS 593-85-1

Guanidine Carbonate, CAS 593-85-1, is also known as diguanidinium carbonate. It is a carbonate salt of guanidine used as an organic-synthesis intermediate. Confirm the requested physical form or analytical limits and intended technical use, quantity, packaging, destination and document availability before ordering.
