Description

Ferric sodium EDTA (CAS 15708-41-5 ), also known as NaFeEDTA and sodium ironedetate, is a chelated iron compound used across food, pharmaceutical, agricultural, and personal care markets. It delivers bioavailable iron in a stable, water-soluble form that remains active across a wide pH range. This is a critical factor for formulators working with complex matrices where conventional iron salts would precipitate. In food fortification, NaFeEDTA is added to staple foods such as flour, rice, and condiments to deliver iron with higher absorption rates than inorganic iron salts, particularly in populations with inhibitor-rich diets. Pharmaceutical manufacturers use sodium ironedetate as the active iron source in oral iron-deficiency preparations, including syrups and drops, where tolerability and stability are formulation priorities. In agriculture, it functions as a foliar or soil-applied iron chelate to correct iron chlorosis in crops grown in high-pH soils where iron availability is limited for the plants. Personal care formulators incorporate it as a chelating agent to sequester trace metals in rinse-off and leave-on products, protecting fragrance and active ingredient stability over time. Ferric sodium EDTA is supplied as a water-soluble powder or granule. It is available in food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade specifications, with the latter meeting USP and BP standards. Agricultural grades are also commercially available for fertilizer and crop nutrition applications. These various grades ensure the product meets the specific purity requirements of each industrial sector. Contact us for supply of Ferric sodium EDTA Request Quote
