Ammonium Propionate CAS 7496-08-1 Feed Preservative Candidate
Buyer-facing sourcing profile for ammonium propionate, CAS 7496-08-1, offered as powder/crystal and possible liquid feed preservative grade material. Key RFQ checks should confirm CAS identity, assay basis, feed/food/industrial grade availability, impurity limits, packing format, document package, and export classification before purchase.
Quick buying facts

Use this page to check the product identity, common specification points, document scope, package notes, and destination-market questions before sending a China sourcing request.
Appearance stated inconsistently as white crystal and yellow/light yellow lumpy granular crystals; buyer should confirm accepted appearance in COA and sample
Purity/assay: listed as 98.0% minimum with example result 98.81%; page also states 99.0%, requiring confirmation
pH: 1% solution listed as 7.0-10.0 with example result 7.5
Free acid: listed as ≤0.0005% with example result 0.0002%
Insoluble matter: listed as ≤0.05% with example result 0.01%
Heavy metals as Pb: specification text shows ≤0.0005%, but example result appears as <0.001%; buyer should clarify unit and limit
Arsenic: listed as ≤0.0002%, but result not clearly provided; buyer should request a complete COA
Physical data from source: melting point about 45°C, relative density 1.108
Grade options claimed: feed grade, food grade, industrial grade, and pharma-related listing; buyer should confirm exact grade, standard, and intended-market suitability

Package and route
Packing notes
Quoted packing options include 25 kg paper-plastic composite bag with PE liner, 25 kg drum, 40 kg drum, plastic drum, or cardboard drum
Confirm whether powder/crystal and liquid versions use different packaging and net weights
Request packaging photos, palletization details, container loading quantity, and moisture-protection method before shipment
Material is described as hygroscopic/deliquescent; confirm inner liner, sealing, desiccant policy if applicable, and shelf-life basis
Ask whether private-label or customized packing is available only after confirming destination compliance and labeling requirements
Applications and sourcing options
Check whether this product fits the buyer's actual application.
Clear application, grade, package, and document notes help separate real sourcing demand from a vague price check.
Use context
Common applications
Ingredient candidate for feed preservation formulations where ammonium propionate is permitted by the destination market
Preservative salt candidate for grain or feed additive supply chains after buyer-side formulation and regulatory review
Alternative propionate salt sourcing inquiry where buyers need CAS, assay, impurity, and packing confirmation
Supplier qualification sample for overseas distributors comparing Chinese feed preservative sources
How we compare
Sourcing options
Request 100 g to 500 g QC sample before bulk RFQ, subject to supplier policy and import rules
Compare powder/crystal grade versus liquid grade if liquid concentration and preservative system are disclosed
RFQ for 1 MT trial order, then container-load pricing after specification approval
Ask for FOB, CFR, CIF, FCA, and EXW quotations with separate freight and documentation costs
Shortlist only suppliers that provide matching CAS, COA, SDS, and export packing evidence
Human review
Compliance notes
Request current SDS/MSDS, TDS/specification sheet, batch COA, allergen/GMO/BSE-TSE statements if relevant, and feed/food grade declarations as applicable
Certifications claimed include ISO, HACCP, Kosher, Halal, and other platform-listed certificates; verify certificate holder, scope, validity, and relation to the production site
Confirm export HS code because source lists HS Code 3402900090, which appears unusual for ammonium propionate and should be checked by broker/importer
Confirm dangerous goods status, UN number applicability if any, and transport classification for sea/air/road before booking
Confirm destination-market feed additive registration, positive-list status, labeling rules, and maximum-use requirements with local compliance counsel or importer; do not rely on supplier listing as regulatory approval
Check whether product is manufactured in-house or traded, and request manufacturer name/address for audit and document traceability
Confirm absence or limits for lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium, ammonia/free acid, insolubles, moisture, and any solvent/residue parameters relevant to buyer specification
Clarify whether offered material is ammonium propionate only, as source text contains an apparent erroneous reference to zinc propionate solubility
