Ferric Pyrophosphate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- iron(III) Pyrophosphate
- Tetrairon Tris(pyrophosphate)
Ferric pyrophosphate supplier for food, beverage and nutrition manufacturers in Malaysia. Ferric pyrophosphate is the iron(III) salt of pyrophosphoric acid, selected as an iron fortificant because it is practically insoluble in water and keeps colour and flavour impact low in finished products. It supplies elemental iron where a soluble iron salt would cause discolouration or off-tastes.
The material is handled as a fine white to pale yellowish powder for addition to dry blends. Food-grade fortification powder and nutraceutical grade are selected against iron content, particle size and purity limits set by the manufacturer. The iron content is around 30%, confirmed against the quoted specification.
Typical uses include iron fortification of flours, cereals, milk powders, infant foods and beverage premixes, and as the iron source in supplement formulations. Because the compound is water-insoluble, formulators assess its suitability for the specific matrix and any bioavailability requirement.
Send the required grade, iron specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation, and supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Common questions about ferric pyrophosphate
What is ferric pyrophosphate used for?
Ferric pyrophosphate is an iron(III) salt used mainly as an iron fortificant in foods, beverages and supplement formulations. It is chosen where a water-insoluble iron source keeps colour and flavour impact low.
Which grade should I request for food fortification?
State the food or beverage application, the required iron level, particle size and purity limits. Food-grade fortification powder suits dry blends, while nutraceutical grade suits supplement manufacture.
How much iron does ferric pyrophosphate contain?
The material carries around 30% elemental iron on an anhydrous basis. Confirm the assay and impurity limits against the quoted specification before formulation.
What specifications should be included in the enquiry?
Include the iron assay, purity and impurity limits, particle size, quantity and delivery location. Specification limits are matched to the quoted grade before supply.
How is ferric pyrophosphate priced?
Price depends on grade, assay, quantity, packing and delivery location. Send those details with your enquiry and the quotation carries its own validity period.
