DESCRIPTION

  • Manufactured in an FDA registered food manufacturing facility.
  • Produced by the French (Indirect) Process.
  • Meets USP Compendium Monograph specification for zinc oxide.
  • Meets GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) 21cfr110 for Food and excipients, and IPEC/ANSI/NSF 363 for excipients.

Grade 102USPL offers ultra-low lead (the lowest lead attainable), with the highest m2/g surface area (SA) and is used where the lowest lead and highest SA is required and standard Grade 112USP is not suitable in the application.

Grade 102USPL is also available in an API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) version “Grade 102USPL (API)” manufactured in an FDA registered drug establishment manufacturing facility which has been inspected by the FDA as compliant with ICH-Q7 GMP for API.

The API version also meets 21cfr111 GMP for Dietary Supplements (DS).

When ordering, please specify standard “Grade 102USPL” or “Grade 102USPL (API)”
