Description
HIGH-PURITY SPECIALTY INGREDIENT
PEA (Palmitoylethanolamide)
PEA (Palmitoylethanolamide) is supplied as a high-purity B2B raw material at 99.0%. This grade is produced to a declared purity with controlled identity, residual solvents and heavy metals, and is released against a batch-specific COA. It is intended for further processing by the buyer or for use as a reference material in development work; it is not a finished consumer product.

Buyer Decision Guide
Buyers approving PEA (Palmitoylethanolamide) normally agree four points before the first order: the assay method and acceptance range, the identity and isomeric form, the residual solvent limits applicable to the destination market, and the physical form required by the buyer’s process. Confirm these at enquiry stage so the shipment is released to the right specification.
- Assay: 99.0% by HPLC, released batch by batch against the current COA.
- Identity: confirmed by the analytical methods stated in the specification table above.
- Residual solvents and heavy metals: reported per batch and reviewed against the destination market’s limits.
- Physical form: powder as standard; packaging and particle size agreed against the buyer’s process.
- Documentation: COA, specification sheet and safety data sheet accompany each shipment.
- Regulatory status, permitted uses and labelling requirements are the buyer’s responsibility for the destination market.
How This Grade Differs
PEA (Palmitoylethanolamide) is often quoted alongside materials of the same or a closely related name at a different purity or in a different form. The two are not interchangeable: purity, residual solvent profile and physical form all change the buyer’s processing yield. Compare quotations on the released assay and the reported impurity profile, not on the headline percentage alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What assay does PEA (Palmitoylethanolamide) Powder 99% carry on the certificate of analysis?
Assay 99.0%, determined by HPLC.
How should the material be stored after arrival?
Two years when stored properly. Keep the pack sealed; moisture uptake is the main risk for this grade.
How recent is the representative batch shown?
The batch referenced is LXGZ260525; your shipment is released on its own certificate rather than the representative one.
What do you declare for moisture and ash?
Both are released against the limits on the approved specification; the measured result for your lot appears on its COA.
Which particle size or presentation applies?
98% through 80 mesh
Can I review the COA before I pay?
Yes. Request the current or representative COA and check identity, method, limits and results before approving the purchase order.
What packing options are available?
Standard packing is a sealed food-grade inner liner inside an export carton or fibre drum. Pack size, labelling and private-label artwork are agreed in the written specification.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The regular MOQ is typically 1 kg. An evaluation sample of 10-20 g can usually be arranged before a formal order, subject to stock.
