Natural Acacia Catechu Ratio Extract
There are two ways to buy this wood. At 10:1, ten kilos of dried Acacia catechu stem and branch go into one kilo of powder; at 20:1, twenty do. Both come off the same line in Xi’an, both pass 80 mesh, both hold moisture under 5.0%, and both dissolve in water and water-ethanol blends. What changes is how much wood the powder stands for, and what that costs per kilo. Tell us the ratio your formula assumes and we will quote against it.

Extract Profile
Ratio, Not Assay
The number tells you the wood-to-powder weight, and nothing about a catechin percentage.
Two Doses From One Drum Line
Switching between 10:1 and 20:1 needs no requalification of mesh or moisture.
Deep Brown Colour
Both grades carry the wood tone; the 10:1 sits darker, the 20:1 lighter.
Same Paper Trail
COA, TDS and SDS follow the drum whichever ratio you order.
Application Fields
Volume Capsule Lines
Chosen when the formula fixes a wood equivalent per capsule rather than a catechin figure.
Hide & Leather Work
Works as a vegetable tannin; pick 20:1 when the finished hide must stay pale.
Cloth Dyeing
Lays brown and khaki onto cotton and wool as a plant-derived colour.
Flavour Compounds
US listing is FEMA 2264, cited at 21 CFR 172.510 for flavouring use.
Oral Care Pastes
Supplied as water-soluble powder for paste and rinse systems.
