Product Name: BarIno™ SaltShock™ Product Type: Chemical Agarwood Inoculant Active Ingredient: Sodium Chloride (NaCl) CAS No.: 7647-14-5 Formulation Type: Aqueous solution (water soluble)
Product Description
BarIno™ SaltShock™ is a controlled osmotic stress inducer using high-purity Sodium Chloride. It stimulates agarwood resin formation by inducing physiological stress in Aquilaria trees, activating defensive biochemical pathways. It is easy to apply and ideal for initiating early resin production with balanced phytotoxicity.
