Description
Aniline (CAS 62-53-3, EC 200-539-3, formula C6H7N) is a primary aromatic amine, also known as benzenamine, phenylamine, and aniline oil. It carries no E-code designation and is classified under HS code 29214110 within the amines category.
In textile and leather processing, aniline reacts with dyes and pigments to produce soluble colorants that bond directly to fiber substrates, delivering deep, consistent color penetration. In polymer and plastics manufacturing, it functions as a cross-linking agent and precursor to flame-retardant compounds, contributing to improved thermal stability in finished materials.
Aniline is supplied as a technical-grade liquid and is subject to REACH registration requirements within the EU, with strict handling classifications reflecting its toxicological profile. Procurement teams should confirm supplier SDS documentation and compliance with applicable workplace exposure limit regulations before sourcing. Standard packaging formats include drums and IBC containers.
