What is Calcium Phytate CAS 3615-82-5?

Calcium Phytate, also called calcium phytate or phytin, is a calcium-containing derivative of phytic acid. This CAS number is used for the phytate salt sold as a powder or granular solid, mainly for metal-ion chelation and inositol production.

Is Calcium Phytate CAS 3615-82-5 a pure calcium salt?

No. The CAS 3615-82-5 is commonly applied to phytin or calcium magnesium phytate, a mixed inositol hexaphosphate salt. Commercial material is usually specified by calcium and magnesium content rather than one fixed molecular formula.

How soluble is Calcium Phytate?

It is only slightly soluble in water and disperses more readily under controlled formulation conditions. Solubility increases in acidic media, while the dry powder is generally insoluble in ethanol and many organic solvents.

What is Calcium Phytate used for in industry?

Its main industrial function is metal-ion control: it can chelate calcium, iron, and other multivalent ions to reduce scaling, stabilize formulations, and limit metal-catalyzed oxidation in cleaning, water treatment, and specialty systems.

How should Calcium Phytate be stored?

Store it in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area in tightly sealed moisture-resistant packaging. Avoid high humidity and direct sunlight so the powder does not absorb moisture or lose handling quality.

Calcium Phytate CAS 3615-82-5

Calcium Phytate (CAS 3615-82-5) is the calcium salt of phytic acid, commonly used in formulations where metal ion chelation and stabilization are required. It functions by binding polyvalent metal ions, helping to control oxidation processes and improve formulation stability in systems sensitive to trace metals.

In industrial supply, Calcium Phytate is typically provided as a solid powder or granular material suitable for incorporation into dry blends or aqueous systems after dispersion. It is used in various formulation environments requiring chelation support. Standard packaging and documentation such as COA, TDS, and SDS are available to support procurement and handling.

Packaging

Calcium Phytate is supplied as a solid powder or granular material and is typically packed in moisture-resistant bags with inner lining or in fiber drums suitable for fine chemicals. Packaging is designed to protect the material from humidity and contamination during storage and transportation.

For export supply, packaging is prepared to maintain product stability and flowability during transit. Packaging formats can be adjusted based on order volume and customer handling requirements.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment. Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and maintain product quality. Avoid exposure to high humidity and direct sunlight.
