Description
Policosanol Powder 99% is a highly purified mixture of higher aliphatic alcohols, with 1-octacosanol as its main component. The product is a uniform, off-white to white microcrystalline powder with excellent fluidity. Policosanol purity is confirmed by Gas Chromatography (GC) and is at least 99%. This ingredient exhibits high stability and batch uniformity, which is critical for manufacturers. Shelf life is 24 months when stored in a cool, dry place. Important for purchasers: confirmed purity, stability, customizable particle size distribution (80-300 mesh), and flexibility in supply volumes.
Applications
Used in the production of dietary supplements, functional foods and beverages, and in the pharmaceutical industry.
