CAS 13943-58-3 Food Addtives Potassium Ferrocyanide for Table Salt

Potassium Hexacyanoferrate(II) is a chemical substance often used as a food additive (such as an anti-caking agent), which is stable under specific conditions and safe for normal use.

(1) Food industry: It is used as an anti-caking agent in salt and other easily caking foods to prevent particles from sticking together, keep them loose, and facilitate use.

(2) Industrial field: It is used in the manufacture of blue pigments (such as Prussian blue), as an auxiliary agent in electroplating, printing and dyeing processes, and also in steel heat treatment and other processes.

(3) Pharmaceutical field: It can be used as a reagent in certain medical tests to assist in detecting specific substances or conducting relevant experimental analyses.

(4) Agricultural field: It can be used in the preparation of certain fertilizers or as an auxiliary component of feed additives, playing a role in specific links.

(5) Water treatment field: It can react with certain metal ions in water and be used for water purification to remove some impurities.

(1) Anti-caking function: In the food industry, it can effectively prevent easy-caking substances such as salt from sticking together, keeping their particles loose and facilitating storage and use.

(2) Complexation function: It can form stable complexes with various metal ions, a property that enables it to play a role in fields such as electroplating and water treatment, for example, removing metal impurities from water.

(3) Coloring and auxiliary function: In industry, it can be used to prepare blue pigments (such as Prussian blue) and, at the same time, act as an auxiliary agent in processes like printing and dyeing, and steel heat treatment to help improve process effects.

(4) Detection and auxiliary analysis function: In medical testing, it serves as a reagent to assist in detecting specific substances, providing support for experimental analysis.
