Sodium Humate (CAS 68131-04-4) is the water-soluble sodium salt of humic acid, a Technical Grade black crystalline powder that complexes with toxins, supports digestion and livestock health in animal feed, and precipitates heavy metals in wastewater treatment. It is produced through the alkaline extraction of leonardite, resulting in a high-purity shiny black flake or powder.
This functional polymer is widely used in animal husbandry as a growth promoter and detoxifier. Its ability to form complexes with toxins makes it an invaluable tool for improving livestock health.
As a water-soluble agent, it is easily integrated into liquid formulations for agriculture and industrial cleaning. It provides excellent dispersion properties and high biological availability.
