Material Composition | Raw material for food additives/chemicals | - Industry: 95% purity (ISO 71-1) - Base: 97% purity (▲) - Advanced: 99.5% purity (▲▲) (FDA-compliant) | Reduces impurities in end products; meets food safety standards for Advanced | Advanced grade may incur higher costs due to rigorous purification |
Chemical Stability | Industrial water treatment/food preservation | - Industry: Stable up to pH 10 (ASTM D570) - Base: pH 12 stability (▲) - Advanced: pH 14 stability (▲▲) | Wider pH range for diverse applications (e.g., harsh industrial environments) | Advanced requires specialized storage to maintain stability |
Packaging Integrity | Long-term storage of food/industrial additives | - Industry: Moisture resistance <0.5g/m²/day (ASTM F1249) - Base: <0.3g (▲) - Advanced: <0.1g (▲▲) (metal lid seal) | Prevents clumping and contamination; extends shelf life by 30% (▲▲) | Advanced packaging adds cost and bulk |
Safety Compliance | Food manufacturing/pharmaceuticals | - Industry: Basic compliance with local regulations - Base: ISO 22000 (▲) - Advanced: FDA 21 CFR 184.1735 & EU 1333/2008 (▲▲) | Advanced ensures direct food contact safety; Base meets industrial norms | Advanced requires additional certification costs |
Application Suitability | Food seasoning vs. industrial chemical additive | - Industry: Non-food applications only - Base: Industrial (e.g., water treatment) (▲) - Advanced: Food-grade seasoning (▲▲) | Advanced enables use in culinary products; Base optimizes cost for bulk industrial use | Base incompatible with food-grade requirements |
Storage Requirements | Warehouse/kitchen pantry storage | - Industry: Controlled humidity needed - Base: Glass jar with metal lid (moisture resistance ▲) - Advanced: UV-resistant glass + desiccant (▲▲) | Advanced resists light and humidity, maintaining quality for 2+ years (▲▲) | Advanced requires more space for desiccant packets |
