FAQ

Is Potassium Chloride a hazardous substance? No, Potassium Chloride is a non-hazardous inorganic compound. It is non-toxic and non-flammable, but proper storage is required to avoid moisture and agglomeration. Detailed safety information can be obtained through MSDS download.

What is the difference between powder and granular Potassium Chloride? The main difference lies in the appearance form and application scenario. Powder form has fine particles, which is suitable for direct mixing with other fertilizers or foliar spraying; granular form has good fluidity, is not easy to agglomerate, and is suitable for mechanical fertilization in large-scale agricultural fields.

Does Potassium Chloride meet international import standards? Yes, the product meets the requirements of international industry standards and has passed REACH registration. Its specifications comply with the relevant standards of major importing countries and regions, and can meet the customs inspection requirements of various countries.

For more detailed safety data, please refer to MSDS download. The product has passed REACH registration, ensuring compliance with EU and global relevant safety and environmental protection regulations, and can be safely imported and used in various regions.

 

 

 

 

Product Properties

The molecular formula of Lysine (L-isomer, the most commonly used form) is$$C_6H_{14}N_2O_2$$, with a molar mass of 146.19 g/mol. It is a non-aromatic essential amino acid, which cannot be synthesized by humans and animals and must be obtained through diet or additives.

Physical Traits

Lysine (L-isomer) appears as white or off-white crystalline powder or granular solid, odorless and with a slightly sweet taste. It has a melting point of 224-225°C (decomposes). The product is highly soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, and insoluble in ether and acetone. Its pH value of 1% aqueous solution is 5.5-6.5, showing neutral to slightly acidic. It is stable under normal storage conditions, but should avoid high temperature, moisture and direct sunlight to prevent caking or degradation.

Product Specifications (Most Common Grade)

Item	Specification
L-Lysine Content (as dry basis)	≥98.5%
Specific Rotation ([α]²⁰_D)	+21.5° to +23.5°
Loss on Drying	≤0.5%
Residue on Ignition	≤0.1%
Heavy Metals (as Pb)	≤10 mg/kg

Product Applications

Lysine is an essential amino acid with extensive applications in feed, food, pharmaceutical and other fields, making it a high-demand product for global importers and procurement companies:

Feed Industry: The largest application field of Lysine. It is used as a feed additive to supplement the lack of lysine in feed raw materials (such as corn, soybean meal), improve feed nutrition balance, promote the growth and development of livestock, poultry and aquatic products, increase feed conversion rate and reduce breeding costs.

Food Industry: Used as a food additive to fortify amino acid content in processed foods (such as bread, noodles, dairy products and health products). It can improve the nutritional value of food, meet the human body's demand for essential amino acids, and is also used as a flavor enhancer to improve food taste.

Pharmaceutical Industry: Used in the production of amino acid injections, oral amino acid preparations and health supplements. It is used to treat amino acid deficiency, malnutrition, and assist in the treatment of diseases such as liver disease and kidney disease, helping to restore the body's normal physiological functions.

Other Fields: Used in the cosmetic industry as a skin care ingredient to promote skin metabolism and enhance skin elasticity; also used in the biochemical industry as a raw material for peptide synthesis and biological research.

FAQ

1. What is the difference between L-Lysine and D-Lysine?

Only L-Lysine can be absorbed and utilized by humans and animals, which is the most commonly used form in industry and agriculture. D-Lysine has no biological activity and cannot be used as a nutritional additive. The product provided is L-Lysine, which meets international industry standards. Detailed technical parameters are available in the MSDS, which can be accessed via MSDS download.

2. How to avoid caking of Lysine during storage?

Lysine is slightly hygroscopic, so it should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse with relative humidity below 60%. It must be sealed in moisture-proof packaging (such as aluminum foil bags or HDPE woven bags with liners) to avoid contact with moisture and air. Do not stack it with other hygroscopic products to prevent caking.

3. Can Lysine be mixed with other amino acids or feed additives?

Yes, Lysine has good compatibility with most amino acids (such as methionine, threonine), feed additives (such as vitamins, minerals) and feed raw materials. It can be mixed evenly according to the formula ratio to achieve better nutritional effects. It is recommended to mix thoroughly before use to ensure uniform distribution.

This product is fully REACH registered, complying with EU chemical and feed safety regulations and international standards. Lysine with CAS 56-87-1 is a high-quality, cost-effective essential amino acid product, widely trusted by global importers and procurement partners. MSDS download is available for customers to obtain all necessary safety and technical details.
