Potassium ferricyanide

Potassium ferricyanide (CAS 13746-66-2), also known commercially as red prussiate, is an oxidizing salt used in industrial processes requiring controlled redox reactions.

Where is Potassium ferricyanide used?

• Metal finishing and etching: controlled oxidizing agent for blueprint development and photographic toning
• Textile and leather processing: discharge printing and bleaching to selectively remove color from dyed substrates
• Mining and hydrometallurgy: leaching or selective precipitation agent during precious metal recovery
• Pharmaceutical and analytical laboratories rely on it as a reagent for colorimetric assays and as an oxidant in the synthesis of active intermediates.

Commercial specifications

• Technical grade for large-scale industrial use
• High-purity reagent and ACS grades for laboratory and pharmaceutical procurement
• Bulk supply in 25 kg bags or fiber drums; smaller packaging for laboratory and specialty buyers
