Piroctone Olamine

About Piroctone Olamine

Piroctone Olamine is a high-purity reference standard of Piroctone carrying the CAS registry number 68890-66-4. With the molecular formula C16H30N2O3, it has a molar mass of 298.42 g/mol. Alternative names: Piroctone ethanolamine and Piroctone ethanolamine salt.

It is supplied as a solid. Store the standard in its sealed vial, protected from light and moisture, and follow the storage condition printed on the COA. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

As a reference sample of Piroctone, it is used for identification, assay and impurity-profiling work during analytical method development, validation (AMV) and routine QC. Typical end-use sectors are pharmaceutical manufacturing and academic and industrial research.

We offer Piroctone Olamine in 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg packs with a batch-specific COA, and ship to customers worldwide.
