Basic Information
Scope
Main Technical Content: 4.1 Requirements for Polyglutamic Acid Raw Materials Polyglutamic acid raw materials are divided into powder and liquid forms. For the powder form, the molecular weight should be 5,000 Da to 3,000,000 Da, and for the liquid form, the molecular weight should be 100,000 Da to 3,000,000 Da. The liquid form should also meet the requirements of Table 1. Table 1: Requirements for Polyglutamic Acid Raw Materials (Liquid Form) Item Indicator Appearance Pale yellow to brown Polyglutamic acid content (%) 3.5–17.5 pH 5.0–7.5 Water-insoluble matter (%) ≤1.0 4.2 Requirements for Polyglutamic Acid-Containing Compound Fertilizers 4.2.1 Appearance Granular, rod-shaped, or flake-shaped products without mechanical impurities and with uniform color. 4.2.2 Technical Indicators Polyglutamic acid-containing compound fertilizers should meet the technical indicators in Table 2 and comply with the values indicated on the packaging container.
