Applications
Animal Feed Industry (Core Application)
Core selenium trace element additive for premix feed, livestock, poultry and aquafeed. Selenium is an essential antioxidant trace element for animals; adding sodium selenite can enhance animal immunity, prevent white muscle disease, improve reproductive performance of breeding stock, increase egg laying rate and meat quality, and is the most cost-effective selenium source for feed factories worldwide.
Agricultural Fertilizer Industry
Selenium-enriched foliar fertilizer and root fertilizer raw material for selenium-rich grains, fruits, vegetables and tea crops. It supplements selenium element in soil, promotes crop photosynthesis, improves stress resistance of crops, and produces selenium-rich agricultural products that meet human nutritional selenium intake requirements.
Food & Health Supplement Field
Raw material for selenium nutritional fortifiers in health food and selenium-enriched food (used after dilution and compounding). It participates in human antioxidant enzyme synthesis, enhances human immunity, and is used in selenium supplement capsules, tablets and nutritional powders.
Pharmaceutical & Biochemical Industry
Biochemical reagent for cell culture medium preparation, raw material for selenium-containing oral health preparations, and experimental reagent for oxidative stress related pharmacological research.
Electroplating & Surface Treatment
Auxiliary additive for alkaline electroplating baths, improves coating brightness and corrosion resistance of metal plating layers, and also used as chemical polishing auxiliary for metal alloys.
Water Treatment & Chemical Analysis
Standard analytical reagent for detecting heavy metal ions in water samples; trace selenium supplement for aquaculture water body to balance aquatic organism nutritional needs.
Product Advantages
