IRON300SC: Spheroidal Easy-Flow Iron Powder (Seed Cleaning Grade)

IRON300SC is a fine, high-purity iron powder specifically engineered for the agricultural and industrial seed cleaning industry. It features a unique blend of spheroidal and irregular particles designed to maximize surface contact while maintaining "easy-flow" characteristics. This powder is magnetically susceptible, making it highly effective for separating contaminants and damaged seeds from healthy batches using magnetic separators.

Common Uses of IRON300SC

While versatile, IRON300SC is optimized for specific separation technologies:

• Seed Cleaning: The primary application. The powder adheres to sticky or mucilaginous weed seeds (or damaged crop seeds) when moistened, allowing them to be magnetically separated from healthy smooth seeds.
• Magnetic Resins: Used as a magnetic additive in industrial resin formulations.
• Industrial Separation: General use in heavy media separation processes.
