Ferrous Sulphate Dried 150 Mesh
Whatsapp Order
Ferrous Sulphate Dried 150 Mesh is a finely ground, dried form of ferrous sulfate (iron(II) sulfate) with a particle size passing through a 150 mesh sieve. It appears as pale green to light green crystalline granules or powder. This iron salt is widely used as a nutritional supplement, industrial chemical, and water treatment agent due to its high iron content (typically around 32-33% Fe) and enhanced solubility compared to the hydrated forms. The dried form improves stability and shelf life by reducing moisture content, making it suitable for applications in agriculture, pharmaceuticals, food fortification, and environmental treatment processes.
