It is also sold as 2,6-DIPA, 2,6-Bis(isopropyl)aniline, 2,6-Diisopropylbenzenamine. All refer to CAS 24544-04-5. 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.

2,6-Diisopropylaniline is a sterically hindered aromatic amine used to make bulky ligands and catalysts, dyes and pigment intermediates, and specialty polymer additives.

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.

The two ortho isopropyl groups shield the nitrogen and metal centre, which stabilises many organometallic complexes. That is why it appears so often in ligand and catalyst literature.

Ligand and catalyst work usually benefits from premium grade (99.0% min) because trace mono-isopropyl and other amine impurities can carry through. Ask for individual impurity limits.

Store under nitrogen in closed containers, away from light, heat and oxidising agents. 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.

No. Chelora Chemicals is a sourcing and supply partner. We work with a network of vetted partner manufacturing plants and take responsibility for specification matching, quality checks, documentation and logistics, so you get one accountable supplier.

We supply across the EU, plus the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Serbia. Cargo arrives at major ports such as Rotterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg, Genoa, Valencia and Gdańsk, with onward road delivery available.

We confirm each product's REACH registration status before quoting. Where registration is needed, we coordinate with your EU importer or Only Representative so the substance can be placed on the market legally.

A standard pack includes an EU-format SDS, Certificate of Analysis, Technical Data Sheet, Certificate of Origin, commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading, plus a dangerous-goods declaration for hazardous cargo.

We usually quote FOB, CFR or CIF to your chosen European port, or DAP to your site. Prices can be given in EUR or USD.

Minimums depend on the product. We handle everything from palletised LCL shipments to full containers and ISO tanks, and we can send samples first for qualification.

Sea transit from India to major European ports typically takes three to five weeks, depending on the port and the vessel schedule. Your quotation shows the full expected lead time.

Yes. For most products we can send a sample with its COA and SDS so your lab can qualify the material before you commit to a full order.

Import clearance and duty are normally handled by you or your customs broker under all our delivery terms. We send the full document set in advance, with HS codes on every line, so clearance goes smoothly.

Yes. The UK and Switzerland have their own chemical rules, UK REACH and the Swiss Chemicals Ordinance, so we check each product against the right regime before we quote.

Yes. For regular volumes we offer contract pricing with scheduled call-offs, so your supply and budget stay predictable through the year.
