Description

Ferric Ammonium Edta is a stable, water-soluble chelate of iron, essential for delivering bioavailable iron in various formulations. This compound is critical for preventing and correcting iron deficiencies in systems where standard iron salts are ineffective or cause instability. It is a key ingredient for manufacturers in the agricultural, nutritional, and industrial sectors requiring a highly soluble and non-precipitating source of ferric iron.

Application

• Agricultural Micronutrient Fertilizers: As a highly effective source of chelated iron for foliar sprays and soil applications to treat chlorosis in crops.
• Nutraceutical & Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used in liquid dietary supplements and fortification due to its superior bioavailability and stability in solution.
• Industrial Process Chemistry: Acts as a catalyst or stabilizing agent in specific chemical synthesis and polymerization processes.
• Water Treatment & Chelation: Employed to control metal ions and prevent scale formation in industrial water systems.
• Laboratory & Research Reagents: Serves as a standardized source of ferric ions in analytical chemistry and biochemical research.
• Animal Feed Premixes: Incorporated into feed to ensure adequate iron intake for livestock and poultry health.

Quality Control

Our Ferric Ammonium EDTA is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise specifications for iron content, purity, and chelation efficacy. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, heavy metals, and solubility are available upon request. We can tailor quality standards to meet specific requirements for agricultural, nutritional, or technical grades.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture which can lead to caking or degradation.
