As a rule, 7 grams per 100 lbs of flour, will produce optimum results.  The cereal and baking chemist may determine the optimum level in his particular flour by adding intermediate levels of <B>AGRILITE</B> and blending these with the flour.  After waiting 24 hours compare the color of each test sample with the desired control sample.</div> <bR> <div> <B>TYPICAL ANALYSIS:</B>  Minimum 32.1% to Maximum 33.0% Benzoyl Peroxide with an average of 32.5%.     S.D.   0.25%</div> <div> CARRIER:  Starch with tricalcium phosphate as a flow conditioner. APPEARANCE:  White, uniform, free flowing powder.</div> <bR> <div> <B>PACKAGING:</B>  Fiber drums with plastic liners; 110 lbs. net weight.  </div> <bR> <div> <B>RECOMMENDED STORAGE CONDITIONS:</B> The material must be stored in a cool, dry area.  Storage should not exceed 12 months.  </div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
