Sodium Selenate, Decahydrate
Sodium Selenate, Decahydrate is a versatile chemical compound widely utilized in various industrial applications. Designed primarily for use in glass manufacturing, it effectively counteracts color changes caused by iron impurities, ensuring the clarity and quality of glass products.
Beyond its industrial uses, the purified grades of Sodium Selenate act as an essential micronutrient, promoting the maintenance of critical trace elements—copper, manganese, and selenium—in the blood. This is particularly important in preventing deficiencies and addressing abnormal tissue growth, showcasing its potential benefits in nutritional formulations.
Note that ungarded products are intended for general industrial use or research purposes and are not suitable for human consumption or therapeutic applications.
