Product Description
Product Overview
Piperazine Anhydrous (CAS 110-85-0) is a hygroscopic cyclic diamine intermediate for polyamide and polyol synthesis, selected pharmaceutical routes, and urethane or epoxy chemistry. Its anhydrous form has a different water specification from piperazine hydrates and aqueous solutions.
Assay, water content and process-specific impurities are the main grade-selection points. Use as a pharmaceutical intermediate does not by itself establish pharmacopoeial or GMP status.

Quality Controls and Documents
Gas chromatography (GC) can be used for piperazine assay, while Karl Fischer (KF) titration measures water content. Where color is a specification item, the solution concentration and APHA/Hazen test basis should be stated. These methods serve different measurements; a GC area percentage should not be treated as a mass percentage without the method basis.
We can provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA), Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the offered grade. Include the required assay, water and any process-specific impurity limits in the inquiry so the quotation can address the relevant specification.
Applications
- Selected pharmaceutical synthesis routes where the agreed grade and impurity profile fit the process
- Polyamide, polyol and other polymer-related synthesis
- Urethane and epoxy systems requiring cyclic diamine functionality
- Gas-treatment and other specialty chemical routes using piperazine chemistry
For a route that calls for a linear diamine or triamine instead of cyclic piperazine, compare ethylenediamine (EDA) and diethylenetriamine (DETA) by amine functionality and water specification; neither is an equal-weight substitute. In epoxy systems, bisphenol A liquid epoxy resin is a related resin-side material, not another form of piperazine.
Packaging
State the required pack size and destination in the inquiry. The quotation will specify the offered packaging and transport details for the selected grade.
Storage Conditions
- Store in a dry, ventilated, and cool warehouse away from direct sunlight.
- Use the supplied TDS/SDS for grade-specific storage conditions.
- Store separately from oxidants, acids, and incompatible chemicals.
- Avoid contact with humid air and prolonged light exposure during storage.
Safety Precautions
- Wear protective gloves and eye protection. Use respiratory protection where the SDS or exposure conditions require it.
- 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 ignition sources, 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. The anhydrous grade, hydrates and aqueous solutions have different water contents; anhydrous does not mean zero residual moisture. A change of form requires recalculating the piperazine charge and water contribution from the agreed specification. -
Q:
Which quality tests matter for Piperazine Anhydrous?
A: Gas chromatography (GC) can measure piperazine assay, while Karl Fischer (KF) titration measures water. Color and route-specific impurities may also be relevant; an APHA/Hazen color result needs the stated test-solution concentration. The test method and reporting basis should be agreed with the offered grade. -
Q:
Does use of Piperazine Anhydrous in pharmaceutical synthesis make it pharmaceutical grade?
A: No. Use as a synthesis intermediate does not itself establish pharmacopoeial or GMP status. Tell us the required monograph, impurity limits, documentation and destination-market requirements so we can quote an appropriate grade.
