It is a salt, made of a bitter part and a partner molecule. The bitter part is the denatonium ion, which is the reason this family of chemicals is the bitterest known. The partner here is saccharin-based. In denatonium benzoate, which most people know by the trade name Bitrex, the partner is benzoate.
Like its better-known cousin, it has no colour or smell and doesn’t change how a product works. It only makes the product taste terrible, so a child or animal that samples a cleaner, pesticide or antifreeze stops at once. The technical sheet is on our denatonium saccharide product page, and more background is on PubChem and Wikipedia.
Denatonium saccharide manufacturer in Assam: when we’d suggest it
We don’t tell every caller to buy saccharide. Here is how we would put it.
If you already use denatonium benzoate and it works, keep using it. There is no reason to change a formula that behaves.
If you’ve had a problem with benzoate, such as a cloudy liquid, a solubility issue or a compatibility headache, saccharide is worth a small trial. The bitter part is identical, but the partner molecule can change how the powder dissolves and sits in your liquid.
If you are developing a new product, trial both side by side in small batches and let your own formula decide. We can’t promise in advance which one will win, and anyone who does without seeing your product is guessing.

For the benzoate side of that comparison.
Who buys it, and what we don’t know about you
A bittering agent is useful to anyone selling a harmful liquid where a child or animal might reach it: cleaner and detergent blenders, pesticide formulators and dealers, antifreeze and automotive-fluid makers, paint and varnish units, pet-repellent makers, and traders who supply smaller formulators. That describes the chemical’s users in general, not our list of customers in Assam.
What we don’t know is your product. A floor cleaner, a pesticide concentrate and a coolant each behave differently, and the right dose and the right salt depend on yours. That is why we ask what you make before we suggest a pack size or a dose.
Getting it to Assam
Assam is far from the main chemical-producing regions, and the routes into the North East are limited. Because of that, we don’t quote a fixed delivery time here. We confirm it with your quote, based on your town and the season. The monsoon can slow transport, so if your production depends on a pack arriving by a certain date, order a little earlier than you think you need to.
Humidity is the other thing to plan for. Saccharide is a powder, and damp air makes powders clump and become hard to weigh. Keep the pack sealed, store it in a dry place off the floor and close it straight after taking what you need.
Because bittering agents are used in tiny amounts, a planned order every few months often suits a business in Assam better than frequent small ones. A 25 kg pack goes a long way in most small formulating units.
Buyers in Guwahati, Dibrugarh, Tinsukia, Jorhat, Silchar, Nagaon and other Assam towns can place orders. You can see everything else we supply on our chemicals in Assam page.
How we’d run a trial with you
Start with a 5 or 10 kg pack. Dissolve a small amount in a little of your liquid first, add it gradually, and stop when the taste puts people off but the product still looks and behaves normally. Then leave the sample for a few days and check again for any change in clarity, colour or stability. Write down what you did, so you can repeat it at full scale.
Please never taste the pure powder. Assess bitterness only on diluted samples, following your own lab’s safety procedure. Most products land somewhere between a few and a few dozen parts per million, but your number depends on your product, so send us your formula and we will suggest a starting range.
Pack sizes and paperwork
We supply 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 kg packs. A 5 kg pack suits a first trial, 10 or 25 kg covers small production, and 50 or 100 kg suits steady or larger users. Every shipment travels with MSDS and batch details, and a COA is available on request. If you need a COA before your first bulk order, ask for it up front.
To order, send your product, pack size, expected quantity and delivery town through our Contact page. We confirm the dispatch plan and delivery time with your quote. If you work with spirit or ethanol, you may also need a denaturant.
Rules and handling
Work involving spirit or ethanol falls under state excise rules, so check current requirements with the Assam Excise Department. For waste and environmental questions, contact the Pollution Control Board, Assam. Some consumer products also carry bittering or labelling requirements. We can’t give legal advice, so please confirm with your compliance adviser or the authority.
At the low doses used in products, denatonium saccharide is accepted as a deterrent. The pure powder deserves normal care: avoid dust, wear gloves and eye protection, wash your hands after use, keep the MSDS nearby and store it sealed, cool and dry.
Denatonium saccharide manufacturer in Assam: your questions
Who is a reliable denatonium saccharide manufacturer in Assam?
Look for a supplier with clear pack sizes, proper paperwork and honest advice, including when another option would suit you better. Shivam Industries supplies denatonium saccharide in 5 to 100 kg packs to buyers in Assam, with MSDS and batch details with every shipment.
What is denatonium saccharide used for?
As a bittering agent in cleaners, pesticides, antifreeze, paints and pet repellents, so people and animals do not swallow harmful products by accident.
What is the CAS number of denatonium saccharide?
90823-38-4.
What is the difference between denatonium saccharide and denatonium benzoate?
Both use the same bitter denatonium ion. The partner molecule differs, saccharin-based in one and benzoate in the other, and that can change how each dissolves and behaves in some formulas. A small trial in your own product is the best way to choose.
Should I switch from benzoate to saccharide?
Only if you have a reason, such as a solubility or compatibility problem. If benzoate works in your product, there is no need to change.
How much should I add to my product?
Usually a few ppm to a few dozen ppm, depending on the product and the rules. Share your formula and we suggest a starting range.
Is denatonium saccharide safe?
At the low concentrations used in products, it is accepted as a deterrent. It is made to taste bad, not to harm. Handle the pure powder with normal care and never taste it.
How long does delivery to Assam take?
It depends on your town and the season, and the monsoon can add delays. We confirm the delivery time with your quote.
How should I store it in Assam’s humid weather?
Keep it sealed in its original pack, in a dry place off the floor, and reseal it straight after use. Damp air can make the powder clump.
What documents come with an order?
MSDS and batch details with every shipment. A COA is available on request.
What is the minimum order quantity, and can I get a sample?
The minimum depends on the pack size. We can discuss sample quantities for serious buyers. Contact us with your application.
