N-Methylaniline, Methylaniline

Key Properties and Specifications

Our high-purity N-Methylaniline, Methylaniline is supplied as a clear, light-colored liquid. Its chemical structure, featuring the methyl substituent, grants it distinct physical and chemical properties compared to aniline, such as altered basicity and solubility. These properties make it an invaluable reagent in various methylation and condensation reactions. Precise technical specifications, including assay, density, and boiling point, are documented in the provided product datasheet to ensure it meets your process requirements.

Primary Industrial Applications

The primary use of N-Methylaniline, Methylaniline lies in the synthesis of colorants, including certain azo and triarylmethane dyes. It is equally crucial in agrochemical production as a precursor for specific herbicides and plant growth regulators. Furthermore, the pharmaceutical industry utilizes it in manufacturing certain active ingredients and complex intermediates. Other applications include its role as a corrosion inhibitor and in the synthesis of rubber-processing chemicals.

Safe Handling and Storage Guidelines

Proper safety measures are essential when handling Methylaniline. It is harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. Operations should be conducted in a well-ventilated area with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, and protective clothing. The product must be stored in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location, away from heat, open flames, and strong oxidizing agents.

Regulatory Compliance and Disposal

Users are responsible for compliance with all local, national, and international regulations concerning the transportation, use, and disposal of Methylaniline (e.g., REACH, TSCA). Waste material and contaminated packaging must be treated as hazardous chemical waste and disposed of through licensed, professional waste management services to ensure environmental protection and regulatory adherence.
