product description

Product Description of ‌Potassium ferricyanide CAS#13746-66-2

Potassium ferricyanide, also called red prussiate of potash or Prussian red, with the IUPAC name potassium hexacyanoferrate(III), is bright red crystal and easily soluble in water. It is prepared by introducing chlorine into potassium ferrocyanide solution. It is basically non-toxic, but may produce hazards upon heating or mixing with specific chemicals. It is mainly used to manufacture Prussian Blue pigment for blueprinting, and acts as a reagent to detect ferrous ions. In photography, it works as an oxidizing agent for silver removal via dot etching, and enables manual color correction by shrinking color dots in color photography. It is also widely used in chemical and physiological experiments to raise solution redox potential, as well as in iron and steel hardening, electroplating, wool dyeing and laboratory reagent fields.


Product Application of Potassium ferricyanide CAS#13746-66-2

Potassium ferricyanide is widely used as electron transfer mediator in amperometric biosensors. It replaces the natural electron carrier of enzymes like glucose oxidase and promotes efficient electron transfer during detection. It is also a key component of Murakami’s etchant, commonly applied in metallurgy for etching and analysis of cemented carbides.

FAQ

1. Why Supply Chain Transparency Matters in Global Chemical Procurement
Chemical buyers evaluate more than price and delivery time. Clear specifications, matching batch documents, consistent packaging information, and traceable logistics all affect customs clearance, warehouse inspection, and production use.
When selecting a supplier, buyers should review how the company confirms specifications, manages documents, handles changes, and responds to problems. Transparent processes help reduce order risks and improve long-term procurement reliability.


2. Seven Essential Details for a Chemical Product Inquiry
A product name alone is often insufficient for an accurate quotation. Buyers should provide the product name and CAS number, key specifications or purity, final application, required quantity, packaging requirements, destination, and expected delivery time or preferred Incoterms.
If COA, SDS, TDS, special labels, certifications, or registration documents are required, these details should also be included in the initial inquiry. Complete information helps suppliers confirm product, logistics, and documentation conditions more efficiently.


3. What Are the Differences Between COA, SDS, and TDS?
A COA is a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis showing test items, required ranges, and actual results. It is mainly used for quality verification and incoming inspection.
An SDS provides safety, handling, storage, emergency, and transportation information. A TDS describes typical product properties, technical parameters, and application guidance. Buyers should confirm the required document version, language, and applicable standards before placing an order.


4. Key Conditions to Confirm Before International Chemical Transportation
Before shipment, confirm the product identity, physical form, transport classification, and applicable regulations. An SDS is an important reference, but the final shipping arrangement must also meet regulatory and carrier requirements.
Packaging, sealing, moisture protection, palletizing, labels, ports, documents, Incoterms, and transport schedules should be clearly confirmed. Early verification helps prevent delays caused by carrier restrictions or incomplete documentation.


5. How to Evaluate Chemical Product Sample Test Results
Sample evaluation should consider both product compliance and application performance. Laboratory results do not always guarantee the same performance in every formulation or production process.
Before testing, record the sample batch, COA, storage condition, and sampling method. During application tests, keep consistent records of formulation, dosage, process conditions, and results. After approval, reconfirm the formal order specifications, inspection method, packaging, and batch documents.
