Calcium Gluconate Monohydrate

Agriculture field

Overview

Calcium Gluconate Monohydrate is a white crystalline powder obtained by reacting gluconic acid with calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide. It is used as a calcium source in applications where a neutral, non-aggressive organic acid salt is preferred and where good solubility in water is required for liquid and dry agricultural formulations.


In agriculture, calcium gluconate monohydrate is incorporated into products for animal and crop nutrition in accordance with local regulations and the requirements of each formulation. It can be used as a readily soluble calcium source in feed premixes, liquid supplements, foliar sprays and fertigation solutions. Any nutritional or agronomic effects depend on the complete diet or crop program, management practices and local conditions, and should be verified by your own trials and technical assessment.


Bisley International supplies Calcium Gluconate Monohydrate in a consistent technical grade, with a typical assay not less than 98.5 percent, controlled moisture level and specified limits for heavy metals and inorganic impurities. Current product specifications, safety data sheets and certificates of analysis should always be reviewed before use, and final decisions on suitability and application remain the responsibility of the customer's own technical and regulatory teams.

Applications, characteristics and considerations

Applications in animal and crop nutrition

Calcium Gluconate Monohydrate is used as a soluble calcium source in agricultural value chains, where a neutral organic acid salt is preferred. Depending on local regulations and product registrations, typical applications may include:

  • Calcium component in feed premixes, complementary feeds and liquid supplements for selected animal species.
  • Ingredient in specialty liquid products designed for administration via drinking water or other delivery routes, where good solubility is required.
  • Calcium source in foliar sprays and fertigation solutions for fruit, vegetable and horticultural crops, where gluconate-based complexes fit the overall formulation concept.

Key characteristics

Calcium Gluconate Monohydrate is supplied in a consistent technical grade with a focus on solubility and impurity control. Typical characteristics include:

  • White, odorless crystalline powder with good dissolution behavior in water.
  • Typical assay not less than 98.5 % calcium gluconate monohydrate.
  • Controlled moisture content to support storage stability and predictable handling.
  • Specified limits for heavy metals and inorganic impurities according to the product's technical data sheet.

Benefits and selection considerations

Formulators often select calcium gluconate monohydrate when a soluble, neutral calcium salt based on gluconic acid is required. In appropriate systems, potential advantages can include:

  • Good solubility in water, which supports the development of clear solutions and liquid formulations.
  • Neutral, non-aggressive profile compared with some inorganic calcium salts, which may assist with formulation flexibility in sensitive systems.
  • Defined impurity limits that support quality control in animal and crop nutrition value chains.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Below you will find answers to common questions about Bisley International's agricultural raw materials, documentation and supply approach. All items are collapsed by default, so you can quickly open the topics most relevant to your business.

Which agricultural markets does Bisley International serve?
Bisley International focuses on supplying raw materials for crop nutrition and related segments, including fertilizers, foliar products, fertigation, seed treatment and selected animal nutrition applications. We do not manufacture finished fertilizers or crop protection products; instead, we support producers and formulators with consistent, specification-driven raw materials.
How can I request TDS, SDS and COA for a product?
When you submit an enquiry via the contact form or through your usual Bisley representative, please specify which agricultural chemical you are interested in and the intended use. Our team will share the appropriate technical data sheet, safety data sheet and, where relevant, example certificates of analysis. COA are issued per batch with commercial deliveries.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Minimum order quantities depend on the specific product, origin, packaging and shipping route. Many materials are supplied by the full container load or truckload. Smaller lots may be possible in certain regions via local stock or consolidation. We will clarify practical MOQ and shipment sizes as part of the quotation process.
Which packaging formats are available?
Packaging options vary by product and producer. Typical formats for agricultural chemicals include 25 kg bags, big bags and other industrial containers designed for efficient handling and storage. Available formats and labelling options are discussed with you during enquiry and quotation.
Do you keep stock, or supply only on a made-to-order basis?
The supply model depends on the product and destination. Some materials are shipped directly from producers to customers on a contractual or spot basis, while others may be available from regional stock. During discussion we will outline realistic lead times and whether stock programs could be appropriate for your demand pattern.
Can Bisley International recommend grades for my formulation?
We can help you narrow down suitable raw materials and typical specification ranges based on your target nutrient content and application. However, we do not provide formulation, agronomy or regulatory advice. Final selection, testing and approval of any material must be carried out by your own technical team in line with local requirements.
To which regions can you supply agricultural raw materials?
Bisley International operates with a global outlook. For specific agricultural chemicals we can discuss supply into North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific, subject to commercial, logistical and regulatory feasibility. Please describe your preferred destination when you contact us.
How do I obtain pricing and availability for a specific product?
Please use the enquiry form on this website or contact your usual Bisley representative. Sharing details such as target product, volume, destination and timing will help us to respond with a focused discussion on supply possibilities, lead times and indicative commercial terms.
Do you provide agronomic or advisory services to growers?
No. Bisley International supplies raw materials to companies active in crop nutrition and related value chains. We do not provide agronomic recommendations, application rates or advisory services to farmers or growers. Those decisions should be taken together with your own advisors and local experts.
Where can I learn more about your agricultural product range?
