Sodium Selenite is a widely used inorganic salt serving as a primary source of bioavailable selenium. It is typically supplied as a 99% Pure white powder for precise inclusion in industrial and nutritional formulations.

In the feed industry, it is a critical Feed Grade component used to prevent muscular dystrophy and enhance reproductive health in livestock. Its high water solubility ensures uniform mixing in high-volume liquid and dry feeds.

Industrially, it is valued as a Technical Grade decolorizer in the glass sector, where it produces a clear, brilliant finish. The compound’s stable oxidation state makes it a preferred choice for long-term storage and use.

Sodium Selenite

  • Animal Nutrition: Vital trace mineral additive for poultry, swine, and ruminant feed premixes.
  • Glass Decolorization: Effectively removes green tints in glass containers and decorative tableware.
  • Chemical Manufacturing: Used as a precursor for the production of selenium-based pigments and dyes.

Classified as Acute Toxicity (Category 2) and Skin Sensitizer. Handling requires Nitrile Gloves, Dust Goggles, and Respiratory Protection to prevent hazardous exposure.

Available in 25 kg drums, 25 kg bags, and 1 kg bags for laboratory and pilot-scale use.
