We provide consistent product quality, REACH-compliant supply, and efficient logistics throughout Europe for customers who require reliable sourcing and regulatory assurance.<\/p>\n<h2>What is Sodium Ferrocyanide?<\/h2>\n<p>Sodium ferrocyanide, with the chemical formula <strong>Na\u2084[Fe(CN)\u2086] \u00b7 10H\u2082O<\/strong>, is a yellow crystalline compound that is highly soluble in water. The product is also known as <strong>tetrasodium hexacyanoferrate(II) decahydrate<\/strong> and is valued for its excellent chemical stability and controlled reactivity under neutral and alkaline conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The substance is generally supplied as a <strong>decahydrate (10 H\u2082O)<\/strong>, meaning that water molecules are incorporated into the crystal structure. This hydrated form contributes to the product\u2019s stability, solubility, and handling characteristics in industrial and technical applications.<\/p>\n<p>Despite containing cyanide ligands, sodium ferrocyanide is considered a stable coordination compound under normal industrial handling conditions because of the strong chemical bonding between iron and cyanide ions. However, under strongly acidic conditions and elevated temperatures, hazardous decomposition products such as hydrogen cyanide gas may be released.<\/p>\n<h2>Applications of Sodium Ferrocyanide<\/h2>\n<p>Sodium ferrocyanide is used in a broad range of industrial and technical sectors. In the chemical industry, it is applied in specialty chemical synthesis, metal treatment formulations, and selected laboratory applications where controlled ferrocyanide chemistry is required.<\/p>\n<p>In pigment manufacturing, sodium ferrocyanide is used in the production of <strong>Prussian Blue pigments<\/strong>, which are widely applied in coatings, inks, technical pigments, and industrial color formulations.<\/p>\n<p>Sodium ferrocyanide is also widely used in Europe as a <strong>food-grade anti-caking agent in salt<\/strong>, where it is known as <strong>E535<\/strong>. In this application, small quantities are added to table salt and industrial salt products to prevent caking and improve free-flowing properties during storage and handling.<\/p>\n<p>Our food-grade <strong>Sodium Ferrocyanide E535<\/strong> complies with the applicable European food additive legislation, including <strong>Regulation (EC) No. 1333\/2008<\/strong> and <strong>Regulation (EU) No. 231\/2012<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Sodium ferrocyanide supplied by Gentrochema is also available with <strong>Kosher certification<\/strong>, and a <strong>Halal declaration<\/strong> is available upon request.<\/p>\n<p>Sodium ferrocyanide is furthermore applied in <strong>iron flow battery energy storage systems<\/strong>, an emerging technology for large-scale energy storage. In these battery systems, ferro-\/ferricyanide compounds function as electroactive components in aqueous redox flow batteries. Due to their high solubility, stable electrochemical behavior, and long cycle life, these compounds are considered promising materials for sustainable energy storage and grid stabilization applications.<\/p>\n<p>More information about these applications can be found on our page about:<br \/>\n&#x1f449; <a href=\"https:\/\/gentrochema.nl\/en\/ferrocyanide-compounds-for-iron-flow-battery-energy-storage\/\">Ferrocyanide Compounds for Iron-Flow Battery Energy Storage<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Sodium ferrocyanide has historically also been used in textile processing, blueprint applications, and specialty laboratory chemistry.<\/p>\n<h2>Regulatory &amp; Safety Information<\/h2>\n<p>Sodium ferrocyanide should be handled in accordance with standard industrial chemical safety procedures. Under normal storage and usage conditions, the product is considered stable and presents limited risk when handled correctly.<\/p>\n<p>The substance should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated environment and kept away from strong acids, excessive heat, and incompatible materials. Contact with acids may release toxic hydrogen cyanide gas. Appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves, safety goggles, and adequate ventilation, is recommended during handling.<\/p>\n<p>Sodium Ferrocyanide supplied by Gentrochema is fully compliant with the <strong>REACH Regulation EC 1907\/2006<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gentrochema BV holds a full REACH registration covering all known identified uses of Sodium Ferrocyanide.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Packaging &amp; Logistics<\/h2>\n<p>Sodium ferrocyanide is supplied in suitable industrial packaging designed for safe handling and transport in accordance with applicable regulations.
