INTRODUCTION
Iron, Electrolytic, occurs as an amorphous, lusterless, gray-black powder. It is elemental iron obtained by electrode deposition. It is stable in dry air.
Manufacturing
Electrolytic iron is produced by electrolytic deposition of metal from an aqueous solution of a suitable iron electrolyte whereby metal is deposited onto a cathode and can be subsequently chipped off or stripped off the cathode and ground into fine powder.

Applications
| The leading clients of iron powder include the following sectors: |
|---|
| Food industry – fortification is to fight iron deficiency and add strength to the common day foods as also cereals. The process involves adding iron and other minerals to the raw or processed or semi processed food to improve its nutritional value. |
| Nutrition related manufacturing – iron nutrition supplements make use of pure iron which is available as electrolytic iron powder. |
| Pharmaceuticals manufacture – pharmacy industry also hugely depends on electrolytic iron powder for making drugs and compounds of diversity. |
| Chemicals – industrial chemicals sector make use of the pure iron powder to develop the intermediates and final products. |
| Paints & dyes – paints and dyes industry depends on pure iron powder to make the color complexes and dyes. |
| Diamond cutting tools industry – diamond cutting tools are fast expanding in scope and functions and these increasingly use electrolytic iron powder to make the diamond blades, tool heads, and bits. |

N-Acetyl-L-aspartic acid, abbreviated as NAA, is second most abundant molecule in nervous systems after amino acid glutamate. It is synthesized in brain from aspartic acid and acetyl co-enzyme A. It also acts as nutrient.
Pivaloyl chloride is a colorless to light yellow liquid with a pungent mustard-like odor. It hydrolyses in the presence of water.
1,3-Dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone, popular as DMI solvent, is a high boiling aprotic polar molecule. Apart from being a common solvent in derivative GC, it finds applications in diverse industrial verticals.
Hot melt polyamide adhesives are 100% non-volatile, thermoplastic adhesive resins. These are heat-resistance hot melt adhesive, suitable for bonding materials hard to bond together.
Boron citrate, usually called “boron”, is a micronutrient with diverse and vitally important roles in metabolism that render it necessary for plant, animal, and human health, and, possibly, as recent research suggests, for the evolution of life on Earth.
Ethone, chemically 1-(p-methoxyphenyl)-1-penten-3-one, is a flavor and fragrance ingredient. Available in white to yellow crystalline powder form, it bears sweet and anisolic taste.
Mercuric ammonium chloride, also called white precipitate, is a heavy white odourless amorphous compound used in external treatment of skin diseases and to destroy lice.
Stannic chloride pentahydrate is a tin source compatible with chlorides. Biologically, it induces a slight inhibition in the catalytic activity of the enzyme horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase (HLADH).
Calcium butyrate is an off-white coloured calcium salt and is highly soluble in water. It is stable under normal pressure and temperature. It is used in food supplements and animal feeds. It is also used as a coloring and flavoring agent.
