Fortifies flour and cereals for deficiency prevention; in multivitamin tablets for energy support; in animal premixes for growth promotion; in cosmetics as photoprotectants; and in fluorescent tracers for industrial leak detection in piping systems.

Non-toxic with high doses causing harmless urine fluorescence; photosensitive leading to degradation. Avoid UV exposure in storage; use shaded handling areas and dust extractors to minimize airborne particles per safety assessments.

Sealed in 10 kg light-barrier aluminum cans with nitrogen purges. Keep in vitamin-specific cool rooms with inventory scanning for expiration tracking.
