About Sodium ferrocyanide

Name: Sodium ferrocyanide
CAS Registry Number: 13601-19-9

Sodium ferrocyanide, also known as tetrasodium hexacyanoferrate or sodium hexacyanoferrate (II), is a coordination compound of formula Na4Fe(CN)6 that forms semitransparent yellow crystals at room temperature and decomposes at its boiling point. It is soluble in water and insoluble in alcohol. Despite the presence of the cyanide ligands, sodium ferrocyanide is not especially toxic (acceptable daily intake 0-0.025 mg/(kg body weight)[2]) because the cyanides are tightly bound to the metal, although it can react with acid or photodecompose to release hydrogen cyanide gas.
In its hydrous form, Na4Fe(CN)610H2O (sodium ferrocyanide decahydrate), it is generally known as yellow prussiate of soda.

Versatile Industrial Applications

Sodium ferrocyanide excels in several industries, including pigment manufacturing, chemical reagent production, and as an anticaking agent in food processing (E535). Thanks to its high purity, neutral pH, and water solubility, it delivers reliable and consistent performance in both industrial and food-grade settings.

Reliable and Secure Packaging

Packaged in sturdy 25 kg HDPE bags, sodium ferrocyanide is protected from moisture and contaminants, ensuring product integrity during transportation and storage. The packaging simplifies handling, facilitates storage in bulk, and helps maintain the compounds 2-year shelf life.

FAQs of Sodium ferrocyanide:

Q: How is sodium ferrocyanide typically used in industrial applications?

A: Sodium ferrocyanide is utilized as a pigment for coloring, a chemical reagent in analytical processes, and as an anticaking agent in the food industry, where it is identified as E535.

Q: What is the recommended process for handling and storing sodium ferrocyanide powder?

A: The powder should be kept in its original 25 kg HDPE bags, stored in a dry, cool environment away from moisture and direct sunlight to maintain its purity and efficacy over the 2-year shelf life.

Q: When should I consider using sodium ferrocyanide as an anticaking agent?

A: Sodium ferrocyanide is ideal as an anticaking agent in salt and other food products, preventing clumping and ensuring free-flowing texture, especially during large-scale productions or adverse humidity conditions.

Q: Where is your sodium ferrocyanide manufactured and exported from?

A: Our sodium ferrocyanide is synthesized and supplied directly from China, adhering to high industrial standards and provided to international markets as an exporter, manufacturer, and supplier.

Q: What benefits does using industrial-grade sodium ferrocyanide offer?

A: Industrial-grade sodium ferrocyanide provides high purity, neutral pH, and strong solubility in water, making it reliable for precision applications in chemical processing, pigments, and food additives.

Q: Is sodium ferrocyanide safe and stable for use in food processing?

A: Yes, with a purity of 99%, minimal moisture content, and a neutral pH, sodium ferrocyanide is stable and safe for applications such as a food additive (E535) when used within regulated levels.
