Sodium selenate

Sodium selenate (CAS 13410-01-0), also identified commercially as disodium selenate, is an inorganic selenium salt used as a controlled selenium source across agricultural, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications.

Unlike selenium-deficient formulations, it delivers a precise, water-soluble selenium dose where bioavailability and dosing accuracy are critical procurement considerations for chemical manufacturers and distributors.

In animal nutrition and feed manufacturing, this compound is incorporated into premixes and mineral supplements to correct selenium deficiency in livestock, particularly in regions with selenium-depleted soils.

Fertilizer producers use it as a foliar spray or soil amendment to fortify selenium-deficient crops, supporting food chain selenium enrichment programs and improving overall agricultural output quality.

Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulators source it as a selenium active for tablet and solution preparations where exact elemental selenium content must meet strict regulatory specification.

In water treatment and industrial processes, it functions as a biocide component and corrosion inhibitor in specific closed-loop systems, providing stability and protection for sensitive equipment.

Sodium selenate is supplied as a white crystalline powder or anhydrous solid. Standard grades include technical, feed-grade, and pharmaceutical-grade material for various industrial needs.

Pharmaceutical supply typically conforms to USP or Ph. Eur. specifications. Packaging ranges from small laboratory quantities to bulk industrial orders, with concentration and purity levels specified per grade.
