Pyridoxine hydrochloride

Pyridoxine hydrochloride (CAS 58-56-0) is the hydrochloride salt form of vitamin B6, commercially known under trade names including Becilan, Benadon, Hexobion, and Aderoxin. It carries no E-number designation and is identified under EC 200-386-2 with the molecular formula C8H11NO3.ClH.

In pharmaceutical formulations, pyridoxine hydrochloride acts as an active ingredient in B6-deficiency treatments and functions as a heat stabilizer in vitamin premixes by resisting thermal degradation during processing. In personal care applications, it conditions hair by supporting keratin structure, and its antimicrobial activity contributes to preservation in topical formulations.

Pyridoxine hydrochloride is available in pharmaceutical-grade (Ph.Eur., USP) and food-grade (FCC) specifications, with REACH compliance applicable for EU supply. It is supplied as a crystalline powder in fiber drums and multi-layer bags, with quantities suited to both development-scale and commercial production volumes. HS code 29362500 applies for import classification.
