Who uses this page

Target buyers

  • Food ingredient importers requiring acidity regulators with documented food-grade specifications
  • Water treatment chemical distributors sourcing gluconic acid solution for formulation use
  • Industrial cleaning formulators requiring chelating organic acid solutions
  • Cosmetic ingredient buyers seeking supplier documents and grade confirmation
  • Specialty chemical distributors handling small-volume or mixed-container sourcing
  • Feed additive buyers requiring separate grade, documentation, and local regulatory review
Before matching

Documents to check

  • CAS number, grade, assay, and impurity profile
  • SDS, COA, TDS, HS code, and transport classification
  • Destination-market import documents before supplier matching
Package and route

Packing notes

  • Source listing indicates 1MT/barrel or drum-style packing; confirm whether this means IBC, plastic drum, or other export package.
  • MOQ shown on marketplace page is 1 kg; confirm realistic sample, LCL, pallet, IBC, and FCL quantities.
  • Request net weight, gross weight, palletization method, container loading quantity, and packaging material compatibility declaration.
  • Confirm whether export labels, batch numbers, production date, expiry/retest date, and tamper-evident sealing are provided.
  • Ask whether food-grade packaging is separated from industrial-grade packaging and whether prior cargo contamination controls are documented.
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

  • Food acidity regulation or ingredient formulation where local food additive compliance has been confirmed
  • Industrial cleaning and detergent formulation requiring chelation performance and impurity control
  • Water treatment formulation where compatibility and local registration requirements are reviewed
  • Cosmetic or personal care formulation where cosmetic-grade suitability is documented
  • Feed-related formulation only where local feed additive rules and grade requirements are verified
How we compare

Sourcing options

  • Sample quantity for lab specification check and documentation review
  • Small-volume drum order for pilot formulation or distributor qualification
  • IBC or 1MT barrel order for recurring industrial demand
  • Food-grade RFQ with enhanced impurity and certificate requirements
  • Industrial-grade RFQ focused on concentration, color, chelation performance, and cost
  • Consolidated shipment with other non-conflicting specialty chemicals after logistics compatibility review
Human review

Compliance notes

  • Verify CAS 526-95-4, concentration, grade, and intended end-use against the supplier COA before order confirmation.
  • Request current SDS, COA, TDS/specification sheet, allergen/GMO statement if needed, and food-grade certifications only where applicable to the buying jurisdiction.
  • Source page references certifications such as BRC, ISO, FDA, HACCP, Halal, and Kosher; buyers should request valid certificate copies, scope, issuing body, and expiration date rather than relying on listing claims.
  • Confirm local food additive, feed, cosmetic, water treatment, or industrial-use eligibility with the importer’s compliance team before purchase.
  • Confirm dangerous goods classification, transport name, UN status if any, marine pollutant status, and any acid/corrosive shipping notes with the supplier’s SDS and logistics provider.
  • No regulatory approval, import clearance, or end-use suitability is guaranteed by this sourcing profile.
