Product Details:

Key Features and Applications:

Key Intermediate for X-CT Contrast Agent:
3-Amino-1,2-propanediol is primarily used in the production of the non-ionic contrast agent Iohexol (commonly used in X-CT imaging), which is crucial in medical diagnostic applications.

Pesticide Intermediate and Special Materials Synthesis:
It serves as a key intermediate for the synthesis of various pesticides and other specialty chemicals. The compound is used in the production of agrichemicals and other high-performance materials.

Chemical Stability and Properties:
At room temperature, 3-Amino-1,2-propanediol is a colorless to pale transparent liquid with a characteristic odor. The compound is hygroscopic (absorbs moisture), and it may change color over time, which should be taken into account during storage and handling. It is soluble in water, alcohols, and ethers and has a relatively high boiling point of around 250°C.

Storage Instructions:

Store in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption.

Avoid exposure to heat and sunlight. Ensure the packaging remains intact to avoid degradation.

Packaging Options:

Iron Drums with a net weight of 50kg or 10kg per drum.

Safety and Handling:

Handle with care and always use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves, goggles, and lab coats.

In case of contact with skin or eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention if irritation persists.

Follow standard safety protocols for handling chemicals, including using in a well-ventilated area and storing away from incompatible substances.
