Usage: It is used as food additive, nutrient, saline laxative. It is widely used in pharmaceuticals. It plays an important role in regulating the heart’s neuromuscular activity and the conversion of sugar into energy. It is also essential to the metabolism of vitamin C.
Packing: It is packed with polyethylene bag as inner layer, and a compound plastic woven bag as outer layer. The net weight of each bag is 25kg.
Storage and Transport: It should be stored in a dry and ventilated warehouse, kept away from heat and moisture during transportation, unloaded with care so as to avoid damage. Furthermore, it must be stored separately from poisonous substances.
