Frequently Asked Questions

What is guanidine carbonate 99% used for?

Guanidine carbonate 99% (CAS 593-85-1) is a high-purity, nitrogen-rich chemical intermediate used in the synthesis of guanidine derivatives, guanamine/melamine-type resins, and specialty chemicals, and as an alkaline pH-adjusting additive. The 99% grade suits applications requiring tight purity control. RawSource supplies it in bulk to manufacturers.

What is the difference between guanidine carbonate 99% and standard grade?

This grade is the bis-guanidine carbonate salt assayed at 99% purity (CAS 593-85-1, C3H12N6O3), versus the standard guanidine carbonate listing (CAS 506-89-8). The 99% grade is specified for syntheses sensitive to impurities. Request the CoA to confirm assay on your lot.

Is guanidine carbonate 99% soluble in water?

Yes, guanidine carbonate is water-soluble, which supports its use as a feedstock in aqueous synthesis and as an alkalinity source. See the SDS and technical data sheet for solubility specifics and storage conditions.

What is the molecular formula and CAS of guanidine carbonate 99%?

It is supplied under CAS 593-85-1 with molecular formula C3H12N6O3, the bis-guanidine carbonate salt. The 99% assay is verified on the certificate of analysis issued with each shipment.

How is bulk guanidine carbonate 99% packaged and quoted?

RawSource ships the 99% grade as a solid in bulk industrial packaging (bags, drums) scaled to production use. Pricing depends on volume, packaging, and freight; submit an RFQ for a current bulk quote with CoA and SDS.
