Dytek® MGN
DYTEK® MGN (methylglutaronitrile) is a short chain nitrile used as a chemical intermediate. This material is a co-product from the production of adiponitrile and offers economic alternative to many applications where adiponitrile is not economical. Currently derivatives of DYTEK® MGN go into the production of amines and solvents.
