Physical and Chemical PropertiesAppearance: White crystalline powder, odorless and non-cakingSolubility: Slightly soluble in water, solubility 13g/L at 20℃, insoluble in ethanol and diethyl etherStability: Stable in dry environment at room temperature, melting point is approximately 292℃, easy to decompose when heatedMoisture: Naturally contains 1 molecule of crystal water, loss on drying: 10.5%-12%

III. Core Quality StandardsPurity: ≥99% (HPLC detection, dry basis)Impurity Control: Creatinine ≤ 100ppm, Dicyandiamide ≤ 50ppmHeavy Metals: Lead ≤ 0.5ppm, Total Arsenic ≤ 0.5ppmMicroorganisms: Total bacterial count ≤ 100cfu/g, no pathogenic bacteria

IV. Production ProcessAdopt chemical synthesis method with cyanamide and sodium sarcosine as main materials. Chloroacetic acid reacts with methylamine to produce sarcosine, then sarcosine undergoes condensation reaction with cyanamide. The finished product is prepared through cooling crystallization, purification and drying.

V. Main ApplicationsIt is a key raw material for sports nutrition, widely used in creatine powder, protein powder and functional beverages to improve muscle energy and explosive power. It can be used as food nutrition fortifier for functional food. It is also an important pharmaceutical intermediate for physical recovery and muscle health care products.
