Quinoline is also known as benzopyridine or naphthylpyridine. It is a compound formed by the combination of pyridine and benzene, and is a heterocyclic aromatic organic compound. At room temperature, it is a colorless hygroscopic liquid with a strong odor. When exposed to light, it gradually turns pale yellow and further turns brown. Its molecular formula is C9H7N. It is slightly soluble in water and easily soluble in many organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. There are two types of linkage, known as quinoline and isoquinoline. They are present in coal tar and bone tar. The crude quinoline obtained from coal tar contains approximately 4% of isoquinoline. The melting point of isoquinoline is 26.5℃, the boiling point is 242.2℃ (743 mmHg), and the density is 1.0986 g/cm³ (20℃). Its odor is completely different from that of quinoline.

Dielectric constant
2.6(-180℃)
Stability:
Stable. Incompatible with strong acids, strong oxidizing agents. May discolour on exposure to light. Hygroscopic - protect from moisture. Reacts violently and unpredictably with some materials, especially strong oxidizing agents.
Higher main content and lower impurity levels; batch-to-batch stability; better solubility, particle size, and flowability, facilitating downstream processes.
Quality system advantages:
Certification list - ISO 9001, REACH registration number, FDA, Kosher, Halal; each batch comes with a COA, supporting third-party testing (SGS, etc.); full traceability.
Supply chain advantages:
Own factory/integrated production; annual production capacity is at full capacity, with plans to expand production; some stock is available for immediate delivery; delivery time is clear.
