Chemical Properties:

Adiponitrile is a combustible, colorless transparent to yellow, oily liquid with a slight bitter taste. Soluble in methanol, ethanol, chloroform. Insoluble in water, cyclohexane, ether, carbon disulfide and carbon tetrachloride. It decomposes on heating to react violently with strong oxidants. Upon burning, the highly toxic hydrogen cyanide is produced.

Uses:

Adiponitrile is mainly used in the production of hexamethylenediamine for manufacturing nylon 6,6. Lesser uses include that in organic synthesis and in the preparation of adipoguanamine, which is used as an extractant for aromatic hydrocarbons. This chemical is an important intermediate for the manufacture of synthetic fiber.

Application:

Adiponitrile is used as a synthetic rubber accelerator, a rust inhibitor, an additive for detergents, a spinning solvent for acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile and methyl methacrylate terpolymers, a solvent for wet spinning and dry spinning of polyvinyl chloride fibers , polyamide colorants, auxiliaries for fabric bleaches, acetate, propionate, butyrate and mixed ester plasticizers; and aromatic extracted extractants.

Reactivity Profile:

Adiponitrile is incompatible with strong oxidizers. Adiponitrile is also incompatible with strong acids, strong bases and strong reducing agents. .
