Industrial Grade Picolinic Acid CAS 98-98-6 Chemical Intermediate

Industrial Grade Picolinic Acid, also known as 2-Pyridinecarboxylic acid with standard CAS No.98-98-6, is a vital pyridine-series fine chemical intermediate manufactured through precise organic synthesis, activated carbon decolorization, recrystallization purification, vacuum filtration and low-temperature drying processes. Our factory strictly controls each reaction and purification step to eliminate excessive heavy metals, residual salts and organic impurities, producing two stable specifications including PA-98 (≥98% purity) and PA-99 (≥99% high purity) to match diversified downstream production demands of chemical, pesticide, pharmaceutical and electroplating industries.

The finished product appears as uniform white to off-white crystalline fine powder without discoloration, agglomerates or foreign colored particles. It boasts excellent solubility in water, ethanol, methanol and other common polar organic solvents, forming clear and transparent solutions without insoluble residues after full dissolution. Its unique molecular structure contains both pyridine ring and carboxyl functional groups, endowing the product with powerful metal chelation capacity and active reaction activity. It can form stable coordination complexes with copper, iron, zinc, nickel and various heavy metal ions, making it widely applicable as chelating agent, reaction catalyst and synthetic skeleton raw material in multiple industrial scenarios.

In the pesticide manufacturing field, picolinic acid acts as a core intermediate for synthesizing high-efficiency herbicides, broad-spectrum fungicides and plant growth regulators. It helps improve the target selectivity of pesticide molecules and reduces adverse stimulation to crops and soil environment. For pharmaceutical and veterinary medicine production, high-purity PA-99 grade serves as an essential building block for anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiparasitic drug intermediates, meeting strict impurity limits required by fine pharmaceutical synthesis. In metal surface treatment and electroplating industries, this product is added into plating bath formulations to stabilize metal ion concentration, adjust solution pH value, enhance coating uniformity and brightness, and lower the discharge risk of heavy metal wastewater. Besides, it can be deployed as analytical laboratory reagents and auxiliary catalysts for complex organic synthesis reactions.

Our production workshop adopts closed automatic feeding and dust removal systems, ensuring the powder has good fluidity and low flying dust during material transfer. The whole batch production implements unified quality control standards; each lot will be tested for main content, moisture, residue on sieve, heavy metal content and water insoluble substances before delivery to guarantee stable and consistent quality without batch difference. The product should be stored in cool, dry and well-ventilated warehouses below 30°C with airtight packaging to prevent deliquescence and discoloration caused by contact with humid air. It must be stored separately from strong oxidants, strong alkalis and food-grade chemical raw materials to avoid unexpected chemical cross-reactions.

We support small trial sample orders of 1kg and 5kg for laboratory formula verification, as well as large full-container bulk shipments packed in 25kg plastic-lined fiber drums. Complete certification documents including COA, MSDS and third-party test reports can be provided to assist overseas buyers in smooth customs clearance. With stable production capacity and sufficient spot inventory, we are capable of arranging fast delivery to satisfy long-term bulk purchasing demands from global chemical manufacturers.
