Description

Manganese Dipropionate CAS NO 21129-18-0 is a manganese salt of propionic acid, serving as a vital source of bioavailable manganese. This compound is valued for its role as a functional additive in various industrial and nutritional applications, where consistent quality and reliable supply are paramount. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the animal feed, food fortification, and specialty chemical sectors seeking a stable and effective manganese supplement.

Application

• Animal Feed Additive: A critical trace mineral source in premixes for poultry, swine, and ruminants to support bone development, reproduction, and enzyme function.
• Food Fortification: Used as a nutritional supplement in baked goods, cereals, and dietary products to address manganese deficiency.
• Catalyst Precursor: Employed in organic synthesis and industrial chemical processes as a catalyst or catalyst component.
• Nutritional & Pharmaceutical Ingredient: A component in vitamin-mineral supplements and pharmaceutical formulations requiring bioavailable manganese.
• Specialty Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex manganese compounds and coordination complexes.
• Polymer Stabilizer: Acts as a heat stabilizer in certain polymer systems, such as PVC, to prevent degradation during processing.

Quality Control

Our Manganese Dipropionate is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and heavy metal content, aligning with relevant industry standards for feed and food-grade materials where applicable. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
