DTPA Fe is a high-efficiency chelating agent designed for the delivery of iron in moderately alkaline conditions (up to pH 7.5). This Agricultural Grade yellow-to-brown powder/granule is significantly more stable than EDTA iron in difficult soil environments.

As a Specialty Chemical, it is widely used in high-tech horticulture and hydroponic systems to ensure a steady supply of iron without the risk of precipitation. The 7% Iron content is fully chelated, allowing for rapid absorption through both roots and leaf surfaces.

The product is exceptionally water-soluble and leaves no residue, making it ideal for precision farming and sensitive aquatic applications. It is chemically engineered to remain stable under UV exposure, ensuring long-lasting availability in outdoor irrigation setups.

DTPA Fe (Iron Chelate)

  • Hydroponic Systems: The preferred iron source for recirculating nutrient solutions due to its stability at a neutral pH.
  • Foliar Spraying: Used as a fast-acting corrective spray for iron deficiency in ornamental plants and greenhouse crops.
  • Aquarium Maintenance: Safely used in planted aquariums to provide iron to aquatic plants without promoting excessive algae growth.

Low toxicity profile; handle with standard Safety Glasses and Gloves. Avoid generating dust during mixing. Hazard Classification: Non-Regulated.

25 kg Bags, 1 kg Foil Pouches, or available in liquid concentrate drums.
