Product Description

2-Propenenitrile, commonly known as acrylonitrile, is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH2=CHCN. It is a colorless, volatile liquid with a sharp, pungent odor. 2-Propenenitrile is produced primarily through the ammoxidation of propylene, a process where propylene, ammonia, and air are reacted over a catalyst to produce 2-propenenitrile. This chemical serves as a crucial building block in the manufacture of various important polymers and co-polymers, most notably 2-propenenitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and styrene-2-propenenitrile (SAN) resins, which are used in a wide array of applications from automotive components to consumer electronics and household goods. Additionally, it is a precursor in the production of adiponitrile, which is further processed to make nylon 6,6, a highly durable synthetic fiber used across the textile and automotive industries. 2-propenenitrile's role in these sectors underscores its significance in modern manufacturing and industry.
