Basic Product Information of Ferrous gluconate hydrate CAS 18829-42-0
Product Name: Ferrous Gluconate (Dihydrate)
CAS No.：18829-42-0
EINECS：206-076-3
Molecular formula: C6H13FeO8
Molecular weight: 482.17
Physical and Chemical Characteristics
Appearance: A crystalline powder or granule with a light yellow-gray to pale yellow-green hue, emitting a faint caramel aroma;
Solubility: Soluble in warm water, slightly soluble in cold water; almost insoluble in ethanol and ether;
Aqueous solution characteristics: 10% aqueous solution pH=4.0～5.5; The aqueous solution is prone to oxidation when exposed to air, gradually changing from light green to yellow-brown (formation of Fe³⁺);
Thermal stability: Decomposes at 188°C, losing its crystalline water;
Safety attributes: Not classified as hazardous chemicals, non-flammable and non-explosive.
Main Uses
Pharmaceutical Ingredients (Core Uses)
Oral iron supplement ingredients, used in iron-deficiency anemia tablets and oral solutions; organic ferrous is less irritating and has higher bioavailability compared to ferrous sulfate.
Food Additives (Nutrient Fortifiers)
Iron fortification agents for infant and toddler complementary foods, dairy products, and grain-based products, complying with FCC/GB 2760 standards.
feed additive
Supplementing livestock and aquatic feed with iron to prevent iron-deficiency anemia in animals and improve hematopoietic function.daily chemical industry
Some detergents and nutritional preparations are used as mineral additives.
Packaging Specifications
Standard General Trade Packaging:
25kg composite cardboard drum, lined with double-layer food-grade PE plastic bags;Optional: 10kg, 5kg small packages (sample order);
Print the name, CAS number, batch, net weight, and moisture-proof mark outside the barrel.
Storage and Transportation Requirements
Storage conditions
Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse with an ambient temperature of ≤30°C;Strictly sealed to isolate air and prevent ferrous iron from being oxidized into ferric iron, which would result in unqualified quality;
Keep away from oxidizers, strong alkalis, and highly acidic materials; store separately;
Moisture-proof, waterproof, and avoid prolonged direct sunlight exposure.
Transportation Key Points
General cargo transportation does not require hazardous chemical transportation qualifications;
Prevent packaging damage and moisture from rain during transportation;
Prohibit mixed transport with strong oxidizers.
