Applications

Iron Phosphate shines in diverse sectors, harnessing its chemical inertness and nutritional value for practical, high-impact solutions:

Agriculture and Pest Management: Primary active in slug and snail baits; attracts and kills pests via ingestion, safe for pets, wildlife, and soil health.
Food and Feed Fortification: Mineral additive in cereals, flours, and animal rations, boosting iron levels for anemia prevention in humans and livestock.
Paints and Coatings: Rust converter and pigment extender in anti-corrosive primers, providing phosphate passivation for metal surfaces.
Fertilizers: Slow-release iron source in micronutrient blends, correcting soil deficiencies to enhance crop yields and plant vigor.
Industrial Uses: Catalyst precursor in chemical synthesis, component in battery cathodes for lithium-ion energy storage, and filler in ceramics for thermal stability.

Our Iron Phosphate empowers sustainable innovation, from farm to formulation, with proven reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is Iron Phosphate used for?

Iron Phosphate (CAS 10045-86-0) is mainly applied as a molluscicide in agriculture, an iron fortifier in foods and feeds, and a rust converter in coatings, offering nutritional benefits and protective properties.

Is Iron Phosphate safe for food use?

Yes, it is GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) and complies with FCC standards, suitable for iron supplementation in products like egg substitutes and cereals at approved dosages.

What is the difference between anhydrous and dihydrate forms?

The anhydrous form (CAS 10045-86-0) is denser and more stable for dry applications, while the dihydrate (CAS 13463-10-0) incorporates water molecules for easier handling in aqueous mixes, with similar iron content.

How should Iron Phosphate be stored?

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space in sealed containers to prevent moisture uptake. Avoid strong oxidizers; it stays effective for 24 months under these conditions.
