Aminoguanidine bicarbonate

Aminoguanidine bicarbonate (CAS 2582-30-1, EC 219-956-7) is an inorganic salt also known as aminoguanidinium bicarbonate and guanylhydrazine bicarbonate. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under HS code 29280090. The compound is commercially referenced under designations including Ba 51-090222.

In pharmaceutical and polymer manufacturing, aminoguanidine bicarbonate functions as a heat stabilizer by scavenging carbonyl intermediates that form during thermal degradation, slowing discoloration and chain breakdown. In agricultural formulations it acts as an antimicrobial agent, disrupting microbial cell function, and serves as a pH buffer in aqueous systems where controlled alkalinity is required.

The material is supplied as a crystalline powder in technical and pharmaceutical-grade specifications, with procurement subject to REACH registration requirements within the EU. Packaging is available in standard bulk formats suited to industrial handling. Buyers should confirm grade suitability against Ph.Eur. or in-house specifications prior to formulation use.
