Nicotine Bitartrate Dihydrate

A crystalline nicotine salt — white to off-white powder, freely soluble in water, approximately 33% nicotine by weight. More stable than liquid nicotine forms and significantly easier to dose accurately at production scale.

Specifications

• Grade: USP/EP pharmaceutical
• Form: White to off-white crystalline powder
• Nicotine content: ~33% by weight
• Molecular weight: 462.4 g/mol
• Solubility: Freely soluble in water
• Packaging: 1kg, 5kg, 10kg, 25kg, 50kg. Stored under nitrogen.
• Stability: Superior shelf stability compared to liquid nicotine forms

Applications

Nicotine pouches — Solid form enables milligram-level dosing precision that liquid nicotine cannot achieve at production scale. When a pouch label states 6mg, analytical testing needs to confirm 6mg. Bitartrate makes that consistent and verifiable.

Lozenges and sublingual tablets — Water-soluble crystalline form provides predictable dissolution and controlled nicotine delivery. Compatible with standard tablet compression processes.

Gum manufacturing — Integrates into gum bases without the texture and uniformity problems that occur with liquid nicotine addition.

Transdermal patches — Used as the nicotine source in patch formulations where a solid, stable starting material simplifies manufacturing.
