Description

Ferrous Arsenate is an inorganic salt of iron and arsenic with the chemical formula Fe3(AsO4)2. This compound is valued in specialized industrial applications for its specific chemical properties, particularly as a source of iron and arsenic in controlled formulations. It serves as a critical intermediate or active component in sectors such as metallurgy, specialty glass manufacturing, and historical wood preservation treatments. Global procurement teams seek this material for its role in niche chemical synthesis and material science research.

Application

• Wood Preservative Intermediate: Historically used as a component in CCA (Chromated Copper Arsenate) type formulations for timber treatment.
• Metallurgical Processes: Acts as a source of arsenic in the production of certain alloys and in metal refining operations.
• Specialty Glass & Ceramics: Employed as a doping agent or colorant in the manufacture of specific optical or industrial glasses.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a precursor or reagent in the synthesis of other arsenic-containing compounds for research and development.
• Pigment Manufacturing: Used in the production of certain historic or specialized pigments, though largely replaced by safer alternatives.
• Laboratory Research: Utilized as a standard or reagent in analytical chemistry and environmental testing laboratories.

Quality Control

Our Ferrous Arsenate is manufactured under strict process controls to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliable performance. Quality is verified through a series of analytical tests including assay, identification, and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for each lot is provided to ensure full traceability and compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Due to its sensitivity to light and oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability. Keep the container sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
