China and Germany are the leading exporters of 3-Hydroxypropionitrile (CAS 109-78-4), accounting for the majority of global shipments, while the United States, South Korea, and India represent the largest importers. These countries consistently dominate trade flows, reflecting established supply chains for this specialty chemical intermediate. Trade volumes have remained relatively stable since 2022, with modest growth in imports by India and South Korea coinciding with upward pressure on 3-Hydroxypropionitrile prices amid tightening supply from key European producers.
3-Hydroxypropionitrile is a colorless to pale yellow, moderately volatile liquid with a mild, characteristic odor. It is an organic nitrile bearing a primary alcohol functional group, classified as a bifunctional aliphatic intermediate. With a boiling point of approximately 170–175 °C and miscibility with common polar solvents, it serves primarily as a versatile building block in organic synthesis. Its principal industrial applications include use as a precursor to 3-hydroxypropionic acid, acrylamide, and β-alanine—key intermediates for biodegradable polymers (e.g., poly(3-hydroxypropionate)), pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. It is employed in the synthesis of specialty chemicals for coatings, adhesives, and functional materials.
Solvent for some cellulose esters and many inorganic salts.
