Description

Ironcarbonate CAS NO 26273-46-1 is an inorganic compound primarily recognized as a precursor material for the synthesis of iron oxides and other iron-based chemicals. Its controlled purity and consistent particle size make it a valuable raw material for industries requiring high-quality iron sources. This product is essential for manufacturers in the ceramics, pigments, and water treatment sectors, where it serves as a key intermediate in production processes.

Application

• Pigment and Ceramic Precursor: Used in the manufacturing of iron oxide pigments (red, yellow, black) for paints, coatings, and construction materials.
• Water Treatment: Acts as a coagulant aid and a source of iron for phosphate removal in industrial and municipal water purification systems.
• Soil Amendment and Fertilizer Additive: Provides a slow-release source of bioavailable iron for agricultural applications to correct iron deficiencies in crops.
• Catalyst and Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a starting material or catalyst in various organic and inorganic chemical synthesis processes.
• Animal Feed Supplement: Utilized as a nutritional iron supplement in mineral premixes for livestock and poultry feed.
• Laboratory and Research: Employed as a standard or reagent in analytical chemistry and materials science research.

Quality Control

Our Ironcarbonate is produced under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Each lot is tested against established specifications for purity, heavy metal content, and physical parameters. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment. We adhere to relevant industrial quality standards and can support compliance documentation as required.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to air and moisture. Store away from incompatible materials such as strong acids.
