Pyridoxine Hydrochloride stands as the hydrochloride salt form of vitamin B6, a water-soluble nutrient crucial for a wide range of biological functions. Produced by Shandong Kunda Biotechnology, this compound features a structure rooted in the pyridine ring, holding the molecular formula C8H11NO3·HCl and a molar mass that lands at about 205.64 g/mol. Widely recognized for its role in animal nutrition and pharmaceutical applications, the substance reaches factories and laboratories as a stable and versatile material, whether pure or blended into more complex products.
Describing its physical appearance, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride shows up as a white or almost white crystalline powder. Sometimes it arrives in small flakes or crystalline pearls, free-flowing and without any strong odor, allowing quick identification and easy handling. The solid is not hygroscopic, holding up well against moisture in the air. Densities register near 1.4 grams per cubic centimeter. This compound melts around 205°C, not decomposing below that temperature—destroying old storage worries for users. Its solubility says a lot: Easily dissolves in water, sparingly in ethanol, but won’t disappear in ether or less polar organic solvents.
The active site rests in the pyridine core connected to methyl and hydroxymethyl groups, plus a hydroxyl and an amino group, all contributing to its vitamin B6 activity. As a hydrochloride salt, each molecule pairs with a single hydrochloric acid, improving stability in dry form yet ensuring ease of use as a raw material in water-based preparations. Chemically, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride stays stable under standard storage conditions, away from direct sunlight and strong oxidizers.
In manufacturing and trade, Shandong Kunda Biotechnology lists this product under the international HS Code 2936250000 for customs declarations, import, and export tracking. Strong quality control keeps purity beyond 98.5%, low moisture content below 0.5%, and a reliably neutral pH when dissolved for analysis. Each lot carries its certificate of analysis, focusing on assay, appearance, clarity, loss on drying, and heavy metal limits. For regular buyers—pharma, feed, or food—these specs mean reliability at scale.
Buyers find this chemical in more than one form: as a dry, free-flowing powder for mixing into large batches, as pearls for easier weighing and reduced dust, or as clear solutions pre-mixed at the desired concentration. Each form suits specific situations—powders for tableting or blending; solutions for rapid dosing in clinical or experimental setups. Any dry form keeps well if stored in a tightly closed bag or drum, away from heat and damp. Liquid solutions have a shorter shelf life and call for cool storage.
Workplace safety matters, even for vitamins. Pyridoxine Hydrochloride carries a low hazard profile; ingestion at recommended dosages is safe, but handling bulk powders raises some concern for respiratory irritation, especially in closed spaces. Shandong Kunda’s documentation emphasizes personal protective equipment: gloves, dust masks, safety glasses when measuring, blending, or weighing. No mutagenic, carcinogenic, or environmental hazard signals in usual amounts. Accidental ingestion of large doses or long-term overexposure should be avoided to prevent potential nerve-related side effects.
Pyridoxine Hydrochloride's main sources come from chemical synthesis pathways that draw on 2-methylpyridine as a basic starting material. Each batch follows a multi-step route engineered for yield and purity, maintaining compliance with food, pharma, and feed regulations worldwide. As a raw material, besides the obvious roles in nutrition and supplementation, it also enters chemical synthesis where a primary amine or activated vitamin B6 is needed as a building block or catalyst for enzymatic reactions in biotechnological processes. Its importance to health—especially in neurological development, metabolism, and immune function—keeps driving global demand. Solid stock at hand fosters flexibility in any supply chain, letting ingredients move rapidly from plant to product.
Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, with its clearly defined, solid, crystalline or powdered appearance, its strong water solubility and chemical stability, and its low toxicity profile, serves both as a nutrient and a reliable intermediate. Product specifications—purity, density, compliance, and clear labeling with international HS Code—allow transparent and traceable supply. Shandong Kunda Biotechnology stands behind quality controls, batch traceability, and responsive service, helping industries support health, science, and food production with this trusted raw material. All these factors—plus easy conversion from powder to solution—keep Pyridoxine Hydrochloride a vital substance in many sectors, always demanding good handling practices but delivering reliable performance in return.
