  • Applications

    DL-Arginine (CAS 7200-25-1) is used as an industrial amino acid and as a building block in pharmaceutical synthesis and the production of arginine derivatives; in cosmetics and personal care it serves as a conditioning agent and a pH modifier, supporting formulation stability and feel of skin and hair; in food processing and nutrition it can be used as an amino acid supplement for human nutrition or as a functional ingredient; in animal nutrition and feed it is used as a dietary supplement to meet amino acid requirements in livestock; in industrial manufacturing it functions as an intermediate for the synthesis of arginine derivatives and other specialty chemicals.
