Description

Manganese Benzoate is an organometallic salt of manganese and benzoic acid, recognized by the CAS registry number 636-13-5. This compound serves as a versatile source of manganese, a critical micronutrient and catalyst component, in various industrial and nutritional applications. It is particularly valued by manufacturers in the animal feed, chemical synthesis, and specialty polymer industries for its consistent quality and bioavailability.

Application

• Animal Nutrition: Used as a manganese supplement in mineral premixes and feed additives to support bone development and enzyme function in livestock and poultry.
• Chemical Catalyst: Acts as a catalyst or catalyst precursor in organic synthesis reactions, including oxidation and polymerization processes.
• Polymer Stabilizer: Functions as a heat stabilizer and color retention agent in the production of certain plastics and synthetic resins.
• Drier for Paints & Coatings: Serves as a secondary drier (siccative) in oil-based paints, varnishes, and inks to promote surface drying through oxidation.
• Wood Preservative: Employed in formulations to protect wood from fungal decay and insect damage.
• Ceramic & Glass Industry: Used to impart specific colors and properties in ceramic glazes and glass batches.

Quality Control

Our Manganese Benzoate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, metal content, and impurity profiles. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, heavy metals, and loss on drying. Our quality commitment supports compliance with relevant feed additive and industrial chemical standards.

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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
