• Tricane is delivered in 10, 20 and 28t load sizes in 28 tonne bulk articulated tankers and is available UK wide all year around.
• Tricane has a specific gravity of 1.41kg/litre or a density of 708 litres per tonne.
• Tanks should be built to hold and dispatch bulk liquids. They should be well maintained and cleaned out regularly to prevent the build-up of sediment. A minimum 4-inch diameter pipe work is advised to handle Tricane. In cold weather Tricane can flow very slowly and this should be taken into consideration when choosing the product. Tricane should be used within 3 months of delivery.

Tricane is a co-product from the sugar cane processing industry. After dissolving sugars out of the fibrous cane at high temperature, the crystals of sugar settle out as the liquid cools leaving a dark brown, viscous liquid, sometimes referred to as ‘Black Strap’ molasses. Prior to despatch Tricane is standardised to ensure consistent product handling.

Tricane is a FEMAS assured (or a recognised equivalent) product. Tricane (Sugar) cane molasses is listed under number 7.6.1 in the EU Catalogue of Feed Materials.
