Description

Cottonseed Flour is a finely milled, protein-rich powder derived from the byproduct of cottonseed oil extraction. This versatile natural product is valued for its functional properties as a binder, filler, and nutritional supplement in various industrial and agricultural formulations. It serves as a critical raw material for manufacturers in the animal feed, fertilizer, and adhesives industries seeking cost-effective, plant-based ingredients.

Application

• Animal Feed Supplement: Used as a protein and fiber source in ruminant and poultry feed formulations.
• Organic Fertilizer & Soil Amendment: Acts as a slow-release nitrogen source and soil conditioner in agricultural applications.
• Industrial Adhesives & Binders: Serves as a natural binder in foundry core sands, plywood glues, and composite materials.
• Textile & Paper Sizing: Functions as a sizing agent to strengthen yarn and improve the surface properties of paper.
• Biodegradable Plastics & Composites: Incorporated as a bio-filler to enhance material properties and reduce synthetic polymer content.
• Fire Retardant Additive: Utilized in certain fire-resistant material formulations due to its char-forming properties.

Quality Control

Our Cottonseed Flour is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency. Key parameters such as protein content, moisture, fat (oil) content, and fiber are rigorously tested. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing these specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at ambient temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); prolonged exposure to high humidity must be avoided to prevent caking and spoilage.
