Industrial Uses

1. Chemical Synthesis

Chromatography Solvent: It is a popular solvent in High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) due to its low UV absorbance, low viscosity, and ability to dissolve a wide range of compounds. Acetonitrile provides better separation and faster analysis times in chromatographic applications.
Extraction Solvent: Acetonitrile is used in liquid-liquid extraction and solid-phase extraction techniques to isolate and concentrate chemical compounds, especially in analytical chemistry and environmental analysis.

2. Cleaning & Disinfectants

Industrial Cleaning: Acetonitrile is used in industrial cleaning applications, particularly for cleaning machinery, equipment, and surfaces in industries such as electronics and pharmaceuticals, due to its effectiveness in dissolving oils and other organic substances.
Disinfectant Production: While not a disinfectant itself, acetonitrile is involved in the chemical synthesis of certain disinfectant ingredients.

3. Lubricants & Automobiles

Solvent in Lubricant Additives: Acetonitrile can be used in the formulation of certain lubricant additives to improve performance in high-temperature or high-wear conditions.
Automobile Industry: It is used in the production of coatings and additives for automotive parts, where its solvent properties help enhance application and durability.

4. Metal Treatment

Electroplating: Acetonitrile is used as a solvent in metal plating and surface treatment processes to improve the quality and uniformity of metal coatings.
Metal Cleaning: Acetonitrile acts as a degreaser and cleaner for metals, removing contaminants like oils and residues during pre-treatment processes.

5. Flavours & Fragrances

Solvent for Fragrance Compounds: Acetonitrile can be used as a solvent in the manufacturing of fragrances, helping dissolve certain aromatic compounds and facilitating the mixing of ingredients to create consistent scent formulations.

6. Sealants & Adhesives

Solvent: Acetonitrile is used as a solvent in the formulation of certain adhesives and sealants, particularly in the preparation of cyanoacrylate adhesives, enhancing their flow properties and adhesive strength.
