Econitrile is acrylonitrile. But acrylonitrile with benefits. AnQore Econitrile is based on certified sustainable raw materials. That makes our Econitrile the first ever sustainable and circular acrylonitrile produced in an existing acrylonitrile plant since 2019.
For more than 50 years AnQore produces acrylonitrile in its 285.000 ton plant in Geleen, at the Chemelot Industrial Park in the Netherlands. The raw materials propylene and ammonia are produced on the same Chemelot location and transported securely via pipelines on site. The uses include Lego, racing bikes, water treatment products, adhesives, and medical instruments.
AnQore is the only European producer of pharma grade acetonitrile. Our high-quality acetonitrile is used to make vitamins, API’s and to completely clean the reactors for pharmaceutical production to ensure safe, uncontaminated production of life saving drugs.
Based on our production of hydrogen cyanide and sourced caustic soda AnQore produces high quality sodium cyanide (NaCN). AnQore supplies this in rail tank cars and isotainers to audited and approved contract customers in Europe. NaCN is used in electroplating, chelates and gold mining.
When acrylonitrile is produced, hydrogen cyanide is also formed. This reactive, valuable starting molecule sits at the base of life science applications such as amino-acids, caffeine and vitamin B5, but is also used to make plexiglass and micro-nutrients.
Providing both sulphur and nitrogen to plants and easy to dissolve in water. This is why ammonium sulfate is an important fertilizer in alkaline soils. Due to its inherent properties, it lowers the PH of the soil and adds nutrients to crops.
As the only supplier of mass produced 1.4 Diaminobutane (DAB) AnQore ensures global availability of drummed DAB through stock points across the world. DAB is also known as Butane-1,4-diamine, Tetramethylenediamine, Butylenediamine and Putrescine.
