Calcium Propionate CAS 4075-81-4

Calcium Propionate is positioned in industrial supply as a propionic acid salt used for preservation and microbial control, particularly effective against mold growth in moisture-sensitive systems. It is widely incorporated into food and feed formulations, as well as certain industrial materials where extended shelf life and stability are required.

In commercial supply, it is typically provided as a white crystalline powder or granulated material with good handling characteristics for blending and dosing. It is used as a formulation component rather than a reactive intermediate. Standard export packaging is available, along with supporting documentation such as COA, TDS, and SDS for procurement and compliance purposes.
