Description

Iron(II) EDTA Complex is a stable, water-soluble chelate of ferrous iron and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, widely recognized for its superior bioavailability and stability in aqueous systems. This compound is essential for applications requiring a controlled, non-precipitating source of bioavailable iron. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the agricultural, nutritional, and industrial sectors seeking to correct iron deficiencies effectively.

Application

• Agricultural Micronutrient Fertilizer: Used in foliar sprays and hydroponic nutrient solutions to prevent and correct iron chlorosis in crops, especially in high-pH soils.
• Animal Feed & Nutrition: Serves as a highly bioavailable iron source in premixes for livestock, poultry, and aquaculture feed to support hemoglobin synthesis and overall health.
• Dietary Supplements & Food Fortification: Employed as a mineral fortificant in human nutritional supplements and certain food products due to its good absorption and minimal gastrointestinal irritation.
• Industrial Process Chemistry: Acts as a catalyst or stabilizing agent in various chemical synthesis processes and in water treatment formulations.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Utilized in the synthesis of specific pharmaceutical compounds where a chelated iron source is required.
• Laboratory Research & Reagent: Functions as a standard or reagent in biochemical and environmental testing laboratories.
