Frequently Asked Questions

What does betaine anhydrous (trimethylglycine) do?

Betaine (trimethylglycine, TMG; CAS 107-43-7) is a naturally occurring quaternary ammonium inner salt supplied anhydrous. In industry it functions as an animal-feed additive and feed attractant, as a cosmetic antistatic and viscosity-controlling ingredient, and as a reagent in organic synthesis and in soldering/resin-curing fluxes.

Is betaine anhydrous the same as TMG?

Yes. Betaine anhydrous and trimethylglycine (TMG) are the same compound, CAS 107-43-7, formula C5H11NO2. "Anhydrous" denotes the water-free form. It is distinct from betaine HCl, which is the hydrochloride salt.

What is the CAS number and HS code for bulk betaine anhydrous?

Betaine anhydrous is CAS 107-43-7, molecular formula C5H11NO2. It typically ships under HS heading 292390. We can confirm the import classification for your destination on the quote.

How is bulk betaine anhydrous packaged and what is the minimum order?

We supply betaine anhydrous powder in bulk industrial packaging such as bags, drums, and totes for feed, personal-care, and industrial buyers. Packaging, available quantities, and MOQ are confirmed per order; request a bulk quote with your target volume.

Can you provide a CoA and SDS for betaine anhydrous?

Yes. A Certificate of Analysis and Safety Data Sheet are available with each shipment. Specify your application (feed, cosmetic, or industrial) when requesting documentation so we route the appropriate grade.
