Ferrous Acetate
Ferrous Acetate (Fe(CH3COO)2) is a specialized metal carboxylate functioning primarily as a chemical intermediate, reducing agent, and catalyst precursor. Produced via controlled reaction of high-purity iron sources and acetic acid under an inert nitrogen blanket to prevent premature Fe2+ oxidation, our material delivers consistent assay performance for synthesis applications.
Chemical Formula: Fe(CH3COO)2
CAS Registry Number: 3094-87-9 / 147-93-3
Appearance: Pale green to grayish-white crystalline powder
Manufacturing Process: Controlled acid-metal synthesis with nitrogen-purged crystallization and vacuum drying, executed in ISO 9001 certified facilities utilizing dedicated reactor lines to prevent cross-contamination.

Applications
Organic Synthesis & Catalysis: Acts as a catalyst or catalyst precursor in specific reduction reactions, vinyl polymerization, and cross-coupling processes.
Textile Processing: Utilized as a mordant in advanced dyeing and printing formulations to improve wash-fastness and color fixation on natural fibers.
Chemical Intermediates: Serves as a fundamental iron donor for the preparation of specialty iron carboxylates, nanomaterials, and magnetic fluid components.
Water Treatment & Remediation: Applied in specialized chemical reduction pathways for heavy metal precipitation and targeted pollutant breakdown.
Product Grades & Options
Industrial Grade (IND): Optimized for large-scale chemical synthesis, textile auxiliaries, and bulk reduction processes. Supplied in 25 kg fiber drums.
Synthesis / High-Purity Grade (SYN): Refined for pharmaceutical intermediates, fine chemical synthesis, and sensitive catalytic systems requiring strict heavy metal limits. Supplied in double polyethylene-lined drums with nitrogen flush.
Custom Packaging & Particle Sizing: Micronization options available upon request for customers requiring specific dissolution rates.
Quality Control & Documentation
Production batches are verified in an internal analytical laboratory equipped with ICP-OES, automatic potentiometric titrators, and moisture analyzers.
Batch Testing: Every production lot undergoes mandatory testing for assay, Fe3+ oxidation ratio, moisture, and impurity profiles prior to release.
Traceability: Raw material lot numbers, reaction temperature logs, and drying parameters are archived for 5 years.
Documentation Provided:
1.Certificate of Analysis (CoA) shipped with every order
2.Safety Data Sheet (SDS) compliant with GHS standards
3.REACH registration status documentation available upon request.
Packaging & Storage
Standard Packaging:
25 kg fiber drums with inner double-layer low-density polyethylene (LDPE) liners.
1 kg / 5 kg laboratory sample containers (aluminum foil vacuum bags).
Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from strong oxidizing agents and moisture. Keep containers tightly sealed under inert gas if possible, as ferrous compounds oxidize in contact with air and humidity.
Shelf Life: 12 months from the date of manufacture in unopened original packaging.
FAQ
Q: How do you prevent the oxidation of Ferrous Acetate (Fe2+) to Ferric (Fe3+) during transit and storage?
A: We manufacture under a nitrogen atmosphere and utilize double-layer moisture-barrier LDPE liners heat-sealed inside rigid fiber drums. Minimizing exposure to oxygen and ambient humidity preserves the Fe2+ oxidation state.
Q: Is this product completely soluble in water?
A: Industrial and Synthesis grades exhibit clear solubility in water at standard working concentrations, yielding a pale green solution. Slight insoluble residues (<= 0.1%) comply with standard impurity limits.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for bulk shipments?
A: The standard MOQ for factory-direct bulk orders is 100 kg. Smaller trial quantities (100g to 1 kg laboratory sample packs) can be arranged for R&D evaluation.
Q: Can you provide custom particle size distribution for specific catalytic needs?
A: Yes. Mechanical milling and particle size classification can be integrated into the production run for orders exceeding 500 kg.
Q: How quickly can a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) be accessed for a specific batch?
A: CoAs are generated automatically upon completion of lab release testing and are transmitted via email prior to cargo dispatch, as well as included physically with the shipment documentation and available via direct PDF download.
