Parchem – fine & specialty chemicals is proud to ACNannounce competitively priced acetonitrile available for shipment from our warehouses across the US.  We are able to supply acetonitrile in drums, totes, and bulk trucks. 

Acetonitrile (ACN) is produced as a byproduct of acrylonitrile, a common component in plastics and synthetic rubber production.   When a worldwide decline in demand for acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber came with the 2008 recession, domestic acetonitrile production dropped off heavily. 

Acetonitrile is most commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry for its properties as a polar solvent.  Be sure to visit our product page for more information about acetonitrile and to request a quote.
