Description

Iron(II) Carbonate Mixed with Sugar is a specialized chemical formulation designed for controlled oxidation and reduction processes. This product is significant for its dual functionality, combining the reducing properties of ferrous carbonate with the stabilizing and processing benefits of a sugar matrix. It is primarily required by manufacturers in the food fortification, agricultural micronutrient, and industrial catalyst sectors seeking a consistent and reactive iron source.

Application

• Food & Nutritional Fortification: As a source of bioavailable iron in dietary supplements and fortified food products.
• Agricultural & Animal Feed: Used as a micronutrient additive in fertilizers and animal feed premixes to prevent iron deficiency.
• Chemical Synthesis & Catalysis: Serves as a reducing agent or precursor in organic synthesis and specific catalytic reactions.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Employed in the production of iron-based active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Laboratory & Research: Used as a standardized reagent in analytical chemistry and material science research.
• Water Treatment: Applied in certain remediation processes for phosphate removal or as part of a reducing environment setup.

Quality Control

Our Iron(II) Carbonate Mixed with Sugar is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for iron content, sugar ratio, purity, and absence of heavy metal contaminants. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these parameters are available upon request, supporting compliance with relevant FCC, USP, and feed-grade standards where applicable.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) after opening to maintain product integrity and prevent degradation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
