Used in cosmetics as a preservative, the maximum allowable concentration is 2% (in propionic acid). But after all, it is salt, and we should take a series of protective measures when we touch and use it. Wear suitable protective eyewear or chemical safety goggles and appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin contact. Wear appropriate protective clothing to minimize contact with skin. We produce calcium propionate in good packaging with polyethylene bags on the inside and poly-woven bags on the outside, with a net weight of 25 kg per bag.

The calcium propionate we produce is stored in a ventilated place, safe from rain, humidity, and sunlight.

Calcium propionate is a new feed additive, mainly used as an antifungal agent to extend the shelf life of feed. If combined with other inorganic salts, it can also increase the appetite of livestock and milk production of cows. Calcium propionate has the advantages of low volatility, high-temperature resistance, and good adaptability to animals, and it is suitable for a variety of feeds. While using it rationally, it is also important to pay attention to safety issues.
