  • Applications

    Rozenite (Fe(SO4).4H2O), CAS number: 64476-46-6, is primarily used as a source of ferrous iron (Fe2+) in chemical synthesis and as a precursor to ferrous salts such as ferrous sulfate. In industry, it can serve as an iron feedstock for agricultural micronutrient formulations, helping supply iron to crops. It is also employed as a raw material in the production of dyes and pigment mordants in textiles, where Fe2+ ions play a role in color fixation. In some processes it may be used as a reducing agent or reagent in laboratory and process chemistry, and may be evaluated for fertilizer and water-treatment applications where iron supply is needed, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
