Piperazine Anhydrous (CAS 110-85-0, EC 203-808-3) is a cyclic diamine intermediate used in pharmaceutical synthesis, polyamide and polyol chemistry, urethane and epoxy systems, and specialty chemical production. It must be distinguished from piperazine hydrates and aqueous solutions, and a synthesis application does not establish pharmaceutical-grade or compendial status. Confirm assay, water, appearance, process-relevant impurities, packaging and required documents for the selected grade.

Product Description
Product Overview
Piperazine Anhydrous is a cyclic diamine intermediate used in pharmaceutical synthesis, polyamide and polyol chemistry, urethane and epoxy systems, and other specialty chemical routes that require piperazine functionality.
This is an industrial chemical intermediate, not a finished formulation. Use in a pharmaceutical synthesis route does not establish pharmaceutical grade, compendial compliance, GMP status or suitability for a regulated process. Confirm identity, assay, water and process-relevant impurities for the intended route.

Packaging information may vary by grade, destination, and transport arrangement.
Storage Conditions
- Store in a dry, ventilated, and cool warehouse away from direct sunlight.
- Confirm the grade-specific storage temperature and retest period in the current product documentation.
- Store separately from oxidants, acids, and incompatible chemicals.
- Avoid contact with humid air and prolonged light exposure during storage.
Safety Precautions
- Handle with protective gloves, goggles, and suitable respiratory protection where required.
- Avoid skin and eye contact and reduce exposure to dust or vapors during handling.
- Use suitable ventilation and sealed handling procedures where possible.
- Keep away from strong acids, oxidizing agents, and other incompatible reactive substances.
- Refer to the latest SDS before storage, transport, and industrial use.
FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Is Piperazine Anhydrous interchangeable with piperazine hydrate or aqueous piperazine?
A: No. Piperazine Anhydrous is supplied without added water, whereas hydrate and solution grades carry water into the process. They cannot be substituted by equal weight. The charge should be recalculated on the actual active material and water balance required by the formulation or reaction. -
Q:
Which controls should be agreed for Piperazine Anhydrous used as a chemical intermediate?
A: Confirm identity, assay, water, colour, insoluble matter and any process-relevant impurity limits, together with the test methods. The acceptance specification should reflect the intended chemistry; matching the CAS number or assay alone does not establish interchangeability with another supplied grade. -
Q:
Does use of Piperazine Anhydrous in pharmaceutical synthesis make it pharmaceutical grade?
A: No. A synthesis application does not establish pharmaceutical grade, compendial compliance, GMP status or suitability for a regulated route. State the required grade, impurity limits, documentation and destination-market requirements before comparing an offer.
