It is also sold as 5-Chloro-o-toluidine, 4-Chloro-2-aminotoluene, 5-Chloro-2-methylbenzenamine. All refer to CAS 95-79-4. Confirm the CAS number with any supplier before ordering.

Price depends on grade, volume, packing, Incoterm and destination port, and moves with raw material markets. Send us your requirement and we will quote in EUR or USD with a landed-cost breakdown, usually within one business day.

5-Chloro-2-Methylaniline is a chloro-toluidine widely used as a diazo component for azo pigments and dyes, and as an intermediate in agrochemical and pharmaceutical synthesis.

Standard grade offers 98.0% minimum GC purity. Premium grade offers 99.0% minimum, lower water content and inert-gas blanketed packaging. Premium is recommended for multi-step routes with tight impurity control.

It melts close to room temperature, so it can arrive as crystals or a partly molten mass in warm weather. Both forms are the same material and can be gently warmed and homogenised before use.

Warm-melt or heated bulk supply can be discussed for large annual volumes. Send your receiving set-up and we will confirm what is practical.

Keep tightly closed in a cool, dry, dark place. Avoid repeated melt and freeze cycles where possible. Use within the shelf life stated on the COA and TDS.

It is treated as a dangerous good (class and UN number per SDS; always confirm on the current SDS). We pack it in UN-approved containers, apply CLP labels and ship through licensed forwarders under IMDG for sea and ADR for European road.

Yes. Laboratory and pilot samples are supplied with a COA and SDS so your team can qualify the grade. Mention sample needs in your enquiry.

REACH status is confirmed before we quote. We advise on importer-of-record arrangements and whether the substance is registered for your use. Send your use descriptor and we will confirm.
