CAS 12068-50-7H2Al2Si2O8 H2OMW 258.16

kaolin (CAS 12068-50-7) — formula H2Al2Si2O8 H2O, molecular weight 258.16; category food additives.

Product Description

kaolin (CAS 12068-50-7) is a food additives. Its molecular formula H2Al2Si2O8 H2O comprises 4 H, 2 Al, 2 Si, 9 O atoms. Its molecular weight is about 258.16. Food additives improve flavor, texture, color and shelf life of food, and must comply with relevant food-safety regulations and usage limits. Common in beverages, baking, dairy, meat and seasoning as acidity regulators, preservatives, colorants, thickeners, antioxidants or nutritional fortifiers. As a sourcing and distribution partner we help locate and compare this item across domestic and cross-border channels, arranging samples and batch orders with full COA and compliance files.

Product Overview

CAS Number12068-50-7
Molecular FormulaH2Al2Si2O8 H2O
Molecular Weight258.16
ApplicationsChemically, the outer surface of the halloysite nanotubes has properties similar to SiO2 while the inner cylinder core is related to Al2O3. The charge (zeta potential) behavior of halloysite particles can be roughly described by superposition of mostly negative (at pH 6-7) surface potential of SiO2, with a small contribution from the positive Al2O3 inner surface.The positive (below pH 8.5) charge of the inner lumen promotes loading of halloysite nanotubes with negative macromolecules, which are at the same time repelled from the negatively charged outer surfaces. A wide range of active agents, including drugs, nicotinamide adenine dineculeotide (NAD)

Packaging & documentation

Packaging is agreed per order, from lab-scale packs to bulk, and confirmed with each order rather than fixed on the page. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) ships with every batch and MSDS is available; where the end use carries a regulatory limit (food contact, pharmaceutical or cosmetic), state the standard at enquiry and the grade is set against it.
