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.

Carbonyl Iron Powder FAQs
Q1: What is Carbonyl Iron Powder (CIP)?
Carbonyl Iron Powder (CIP) is a highly pure form of iron produced using the carbonyl process. It is commonly used in various applications, including as an iron supplement in food and pharmaceuticals.
Q2: What are the primary applications of CIP – Food Grade?
Food Grade CIP is primarily used as a dietary supplement to treat iron deficiency anemia and as a fortification ingredient in food products, including nutritional supplements and fortified foods.
Q3: Is CIP safe for consumption?
Yes, Food Grade CIP meets rigorous safety standards and is specifically designed for human consumption. It is widely used in food, pharmaceuticals, and dietary supplements.
Q4: How does CIP help with iron deficiency?
CIP provides a highly bioavailable form of iron that the body can easily absorb. This helps increase hemoglobin levels, supporting the treatment of iron deficiency anemia and improving overall iron status.
