CIP1056 Carbonyl Iron Powder (CIP) – Food Grade

Carbonyl Iron Powder Description 

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

Carbonyl Iron Powder is known for its high purity and controlled particle size distribution, which makes it suitable for various industrial applications. It has excellent magnetic and electrical properties, making it useful in the production of magnetic materials, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, and electrical conductors.

Due to its high purity, Carbonyl Iron Powder is also commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry as an iron supplement, especially in cases of iron deficiency anemia. It can be easily incorporated into various formulations such as pills, capsules, and liquids, as it has good solubility and bioavailability.

Additionally, Carbonyl Iron Powder is utilized in chemical reactions as a catalyst, in the manufacturing of diamond tools and abrasive wheels, and as an additive for lubricants to improve wear resistance.
