Sodium Selenate is a highly concentrated selenium source used primarily for bio-fortification and nutritional supplementation. It is available as a high-purity anhydrous salt for precise industrial dosing.

The compound is highly water-soluble, allowing for uniform distribution in animal feed premixes and specialty fertilizers. Its oxidized state makes it a stable and effective source of selenium for both plants and livestock.

In the glass industry, it functions as a Technical Grade additive for decolorization and the production of specific red glass hues. It is valued for its consistent chemical profile and high selenium content.

Sodium Selenate

  • Animal Nutrition: Used in micro-doses to prevent selenium deficiency and enhance immune systems in livestock.
  • Glass Manufacturing: Acts as a decolorizing agent by neutralizing green tints caused by iron impurities.
  • Crop Bio-fortification: Applied as a foliar spray to increase the selenium content of food crops.

Classified as Acute Toxicity (Category 3) and Environmental Hazard. Handling requires strict Dust Control, Protective Gloves, and a Respirator to prevent toxic exposure.

Available in 25 kg drums, 10 kg bags, and vacuum-sealed foil packs for high-purity requirements.
