Storage & Handling
Recommended handling in USA
- Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse below 30 °C.
- Keep containers tightly closed; sodium cyanate is hygroscopic and absorbs atmospheric moisture.
- Segregate from strong acids, oxidizers, and incompatible chemicals.
- Use PPE — chemical goggles, nitrile gloves, dust mask (N95 or better).
- Shelf life: 24 months from date of manufacture in sealed original packaging.
- Transport classification: not regulated under US DOT for ground transport in non-bulk packaging.

FAQ
Potassium Cyanate export FAQs — USA
1. What is sodium cyanate?
Sodium cyanate (NaOCN) is an inorganic chemical compound that appears as a white crystalline solid and is highly soluble in water. It is widely used as a reactive intermediate in chemical synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals due to its stable yet reactive nature.
2. What is the chemical composition and formula of sodium cyanate?
Sodium cyanate has the chemical formula NaOCN and consists of sodium ions bonded with the cyanate ion (OCN⁻). This structure makes it a stable yet reactive compound, suitable for use in various chemical synthesis reactions where controlled reactivity is required.
3. What is the typical assay or purity percentage of your sodium cyanate?
The typical assay of sodium cyanate offered by reliable manufacturers usually ranges between 95% to 99% or higher, depending on the grade. Higher purity grades are specifically produced for pharmaceutical and specialty chemical applications where minimal impurities are critical.
4. What are the key physical specifications of sodium cyanate?
Sodium cyanate is generally supplied as a white crystalline powder or granules with high solubility in water. It has a stable composition under normal conditions and is free-flowing, which makes it easy to handle and use in industrial processes.
5. What impurities should be checked in sodium cyanate?
Important impurities to monitor include residual cyanide content, moisture levels, carbonate content, and heavy metals. Low cyanide impurity is especially important for safety and compliance in pharmaceutical and chemical applications.
6. How do I choose the right grade of sodium cyanate for my application?
Choosing the right grade depends on the intended use, required purity, and sensitivity of the process. Industrial applications may use standard grades, while pharmaceutical and specialty applications require higher purity with strict impurity control.
