Chelora Chemicals UAE supplies Mannitol (CAS 69-65-8), the non-hygroscopic sugar alcohol, to tablet and chewable-tablet manufacturers, freeze-drying formulators, food and confectionery producers and chemical traders across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and all seven Emirates, in powder and granular grades with batch-wise COA and fast GCC delivery.
Mannitol is a six-carbon sugar alcohol (polyol), supplied as a white, odourless, crystalline powder or free-flowing granules with a sweet, cooling taste. It dissolves in water, is practically insoluble in ethanol and, unlike most sugars, absorbs almost no moisture, which makes it valuable for moisture-sensitive formulations.
It is widely used as a filler in chewable and orally disintegrating tablets, as a direct-compression diluent, as a bulking agent in freeze-dried (lyophilised) products and as a carrier in inhalation powders. In food it is a sugar-free sweetener and dusting agent (E421), and in medicine it is also used as an osmotic diuretic.
As an established chemical supplier in the UAE, Chelora Chemicals sources Mannitol from approved manufacturers with controlled crystal form, particle size and low reducing-sugar and conductivity levels, and delivers it to customers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain, as well as export customers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Africa and South Asia.

Mannitol (CAS 69-65-8) is a non-hygroscopic six-carbon polyol. It is different from sorbitol (its isomer, which is very hygroscopic), from xylitol and from sugars such as lactose and sucrose, and its low moisture uptake is why it is chosen for moisture-sensitive actives.
Share the grade (pharma or food) and particle size, quantity, packing, Incoterm and delivery Emirate through our contact page and our team aims to respond within one business day.
Typically 25 kg polyethylene-lined bags or fibre drums, with smaller packs for trials and bulk bags for large volumes. Packs are sealed and labelled for safe transport.
The minimum order depends on packing and current stock. We handle everything from a few bags or small packs for trials and lab qualification up to full container loads.
Store in tightly closed, lined bags or drums in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sun and strong odours. Reseal opened packs promptly.
Mannitol is not classified as hazardous. Fine powder can form combustible dust clouds and irritate the eyes, and large oral doses may have a laxative effect. Follow the SDS supplied with the product.
Yes. We export from the UAE to Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, East and West Africa, South Asia and other markets on EXW, FOB, CFR, CIF, DAP or DDP terms, subject to the import rules of each destination.
Yes. Samples are available for qualification on request, together with the COA and SDS, so your QC or R&D team can approve the material before a commercial order.
It has a pleasant sweet, cooling taste, dissolves quickly in the mouth and absorbs very little moisture, so chewable and orally disintegrating tablets stay stable and palatable.
No. They are isomers with the same formula, but Mannitol is non-hygroscopic and crystalline while sorbitol absorbs moisture readily. They are not interchangeable in moisture-sensitive formulations.
