Ensuring Quality: Specifications and Storage of 5-Methyl-o-anisidine (CAS 120-71-8)
For any chemical manufacturer or R&D scientist, the specifications and proper handling of raw materials are paramount to achieving consistent product quality and ensuring safety. 5-Methyl-o-anisidine (CAS 120-71-8) is a critical organic intermediate used extensively in the dye industry. As a leading supplier from China, we place a strong emphasis on providing clear specifications and guidance on the storage of this compound, ensuring our clients receive it in optimal condition for their synthesis needs.
Our 5-Methyl-o-anisidine is characterized by its high purity, with an assay of ≥99.0%. This precise level of purity is essential for its effective use in complex chemical reactions, particularly in the synthesis of various direct, acid, and disperse dyes. The appearance of the product is typically described as light red crystals, a physical form that facilitates handling and accurate weighing during manufacturing processes. We adhere to strict quality control measures throughout production to guarantee that each batch meets these exacting standards.
Beyond purity and appearance, understanding other physical and chemical properties is important for application. The melting point range for 5-Methyl-o-anisidine is generally between 49-52°C. While it has limited solubility in water, it dissolves more readily in many organic solvents, which is a key consideration for formulating reaction mixtures. Procurement managers often inquire about these details to ensure compatibility with their existing processes when they decide to buy this chemical.
Proper storage and handling are vital for maintaining the integrity and efficacy of 5-Methyl-o-anisidine. As a chemical intermediate, it should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area, protected from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Incompatibility with strong oxidizing agents necessitates careful segregation in storage facilities. Following general chemical regulations for storage and transportation ensures product stability and safety. Our packaging, typically in 25kg bags or drums, is designed to protect the product during transit and initial storage.
For industries relying on the consistent synthesis of dyes like C.I. 29050, 29065, 27885 (direct dyes), C.I. 14940, 14965 (acid dyes), or Disperse Scarlet GC, the quality of the 5-Methyl-o-anisidine is non-negotiable. As a trusted manufacturer and supplier in China, we are committed to providing product consistency and reliability. We encourage all potential buyers, including procurement specialists and R&D scientists, to reach out to us for detailed technical data sheets, competitive pricing, and to place their orders. Partnering with us ensures you receive high-quality 5-Methyl-o-anisidine, backed by our expertise and commitment to customer satisfaction.
