Acetonitrile
Acetonitrile is used in the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and distributed in bulk and in drums.
Dollmar SpA distributes Acetonitrile in Italy, Switzerland, Croatia, Slovenia and Serbia.
Acetonitrile is the simplest organic nitrile: it is a clear, fiammable liquid and it is miscible with water and with common organic solvents such as alcohols, ethers, ethanol, acetone, alkenes, chloroform and chlorinated alkanes.
It is mainly used as a chemical intermediate in pharmaceutical manufacturing but it is also used in perfume, pesticides, plastics and synthetic rubber manufacturing.
