Ferric phosphate
Description
Ferric phosphate (CAS 10045-86-0 ), also known as iron phosphate and FePO4, is an inorganic iron salt used across food, agricultural, and industrial applications. It functions primarily as an iron source in nutritional fortification and as a coagulant in water treatment. In food manufacturing, ferric phosphate is used to fortify cereals, infant formula, and flour with bioavailable iron without altering taste or color. This provides a key advantage over other iron salts in sensitive formulations. In agriculture, it is the active ingredient in approved molluscicide pellets used to control slugs and snails in crop protection programs. Water treatment facilities use it as a coagulant and flocculant to remove phosphorus from effluents. Pharmaceutical manufacturers incorporate it as an iron supplement ingredient in tablet and capsule formulations targeting iron deficiency. It is supplied as a fine powder or micronized powder depending on the intended application. Food-grade and USP / BP grades are available for nutritional and pharmaceutical use, while technical-grade material is supplied for agricultural and water treatment applications. Purity levels and particle size specifications vary by grade. Buyers should confirm compliance requirements before sourcing to ensure the material meets specific industry needs. Our supply chain ensures consistent quality and availability for large-scale industrial and food production requirements. Contact us for supply of Ferric phosphate Request Quote
