Sourcing guidance

Buyer's checklist for p-Fluoroaniline in bulk

Sourcing 4-Fluoroaniline for a European plant is more than comparing price per kg. Use this list to evaluate any supplier.

  • Confirm CAS 371-40-4 and the isomer on the COA
  • Request GC purity, water content, appearance and impurity profile
  • Verify REACH status and who is importer of record for EU entry
  • Compare landed cost by Incoterm: FOB, CFR, CIF or DAP
  • Qualify a lab sample before committing to a full order
  • Confirm dangerous-goods packing, CLP labelling and forwarder details

Why choose us

Four reasons European buyers trust Chelora

We take ownership of your supply chain from sourcing through to delivery. Here is what that means in practice.

Verified quality, every batch

Each lot ships with a batch-specific COA covering GC purity, water content and isomer confirmation, not a generic certificate.

EU-ready documentation

COA, EU-format SDS, TDS, bill of lading, dangerous-goods declaration, packing list, invoice and certificate of origin come as standard.

End-to-end logistics

We book freight through licensed DG forwarders, prepare customs papers and coordinate delivery to your port or plant.

REACH & regulatory support

We confirm REACH status before quoting and advise on importer-of-record arrangements for EU market entry.

It is also sold as p-Fluoroaniline, PFA, 4-Fluorobenzenamine, 1-Amino-4-fluorobenzene. All refer to CAS 371-40-4. Confirm the CAS number with any supplier before ordering to avoid receiving the wrong isomer.

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

Para Fluoro Aniline is a fluorinated aromatic amine used as a building block for pharmaceutical, agrochemical and specialty synthesis.

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

Keep it in tightly closed original UN-approved containers, away from light, moisture, heat, oxidisers and acids. Aromatic amines can darken on prolonged exposure to air, so use the material within the shelf life stated on the COA and TDS.

Yes. We supply laboratory and pilot-scale samples with a certificate of analysis and safety data sheet so your team can qualify the grade before scaling up. Ask about sample availability when you send your enquiry.

It is treated as a dangerous good (transport classification: UN 2941 (fluoroanilines), typically Class 6.1 toxic substances; 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 transport.

A standard shipment includes the bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of analysis, safety data sheet, dangerous-goods declaration and certificate of origin. Other certificates are available on request for applicable trade routes.

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