CIP1056 Carbonyl Iron Powder (CIP) - Food Grade

Carbonyl Iron Powder Description

Carbonyl Iron Powder is an iron powder produced by the decomposition of iron pentacarbonyl in the presence of air and other gases. It is a fine, grey-black powder with high purity and a specific surface area.

Carbonyl Iron Powder has high purity and a controlled particle size distribution, which makes it suitable for various industrial applications. It exhibits magnetic and electrical properties that are beneficial for the production of magnetic materials, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shields and electrical conductors.

Due to its high purity, Carbonyl Iron Powder is frequently used as an iron supplement in the pharmaceutical industry. It is incorporated into formulations such as tablets, capsules and liquids, given that it has good solubility and bioavailability.

Additionally, Carbonyl Iron Powder is utilised as a catalyst in chemical reactions, in the manufacture of diamond tools and grinding wheels, and as an additive in lubricants to enhance wear resistance.
