PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Product Description
FCC Grade 50/ 60/ 70% Choline Chloride is a nutritional raw-material series designed primarily for animal-feed and premix applications. The series is available in different carrier-based concentrations, including 50% Choline Chloride on silica and 60% or 70% Choline Chloride on corn-cob carrier.
Choline Chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound widely used as a nutritional source of choline in professionally formulated animal feeds. The different carrier systems provide practical options for feed manufacturers requiring controlled active content, flowability, particle distribution, and compatibility with dry premix and compound-feed systems.
The 50% silica grade is typically supplied as a white free-flowing powder, while the 60% and 70% corn-cob grades are generally supplied as yellowish-brown free-flowing powder or granules. Product selection should therefore consider the required active concentration, carrier type, and processing characteristics.
The referenced quality specification controls Choline Chloride content, free amine or ammonia, loss on drying, heavy metals, arsenic, and particle fineness. Final suitability should be evaluated according to the intended feed application, required grade, supplier-specific documentation, and applicable feed regulations.

KEY PROPERTIES
Product Characteristics
Available in three carrier-based concentration options to support different animal-feed and premix formulation requirements.
Provides a concentrated nutritional source of choline for professionally formulated animal-feed applications.
The 50% silica grade offers a fine, free-flowing powder profile suitable for dry-feed and premix systems.
The 60% and 70% corn-cob grades provide higher active-content options using a plant-derived carrier system.
Controlled particle fineness supports consistent distribution in suitable dry-feed and premix formulations.
Defined quality controls cover active Choline Chloride content, free amine, moisture-related loss, heavy metals, arsenic, and particle size.
Suitable for poultry, livestock, aquaculture, and other regulated animal-feed applications according to the required product grade.

STORAGE & HANDLING
Handling Guidance
Store in tightly sealed and appropriately labeled packaging in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location. Protect the material from moisture, prolonged direct sunlight, excessive heat, and contamination.
Choline Chloride preparations are hygroscopic, and exposure to humid conditions can adversely affect flowability and product quality. Open packaging should therefore be securely closed when the material is not in use.
Handling, storage, transportation, and disposal should follow the supplier-specific Safety Data Sheet, applicable feed-industry requirements, and local regulations. The appropriate storage conditions should also account for the specific carrier grade, whether silica or corn cob.
