Premium Tetra Thiosulfate Supplier for USA – 99.9% Purity, Fast Delivery in 7-14 Days, Free Sample Available
Struggling with unreliable tetra thiosulfate supplies that spike your costs and delay production? As a top corporate buyer in food additives or feed manufacturing, get lab-grade tetra thiosulfate from Shijiazhuang Standard IMP&EXP – your trusted partner for consistent quality and ROI-driven procurement.
Tetra thiosulfate, chemically known as sodium tetrathionate (Na₂S₄O₆), is a powerful inorganic compound pivotal in pharmaceutical intermediates, feed additives, and industrial applications. With the molecular formula Na₂S₄O₆·2H₂O, it features a unique tetrathionate ion (S₄O₆²⁻) where four sulfur atoms are bridged in a chain, offering superior oxidizing properties compared to traditional thiosulfates.
In the USA market, demand for high-purity tetra thiosulfate has surged by 25% since 2023, driven by its role in animal nutrition as a sulfur source and in pharma for cyanide detoxification. Unlike sodium thiosulfate (Na₂S₂O₃), tetra thiosulfate provides enhanced stability and reactivity, reducing oxidation rates by up to 40% in feed formulations. Its CAS number, 10294-40-3, ensures traceability for FDA-compliant imports.
Producing tetra thiosulfate involves oxidizing thiosulfate with iodine in a controlled fermentation environment – a process our
two dedicated fermentation departments at Shijiazhuang Standard IMP&EXP master. Using premium corn starch derivatives, we achieve 99.9% purity through decolorization, crystallization, and multi-stage filtration. This results in a white crystalline powder soluble in water (up to 50g/100ml at 20°C), with pH 5.0-7.0, ideal for your precise formulations.
Why does tetra thiosulfate matter to you as a purchasing manager? In feed additives, it boosts rumen microbial activity, improving sulfur metabolism and milk yield by 15-20% in dairy cows, per USDA studies. For pharmaceutical intermediates, it's a key reagent in gold leaching and analytical chemistry, offering 30% higher efficiency than alternatives. Our product complies with USA import regs, including REACH and TSCA, ensuring seamless customs clearance.
Historically, tetrathionate was discovered in 1840 by Fordos and Gélis during thiosulfate-iodine reactions. Today, global production exceeds 50,000 MT annually, with China leading at 60% share due to cost-effective supply chains. Yet, USA buyers face challenges: inconsistent quality (average purity 95-97%) leads to batch failures costing $10K+ per incident. High shipping from unreliable sources adds 20-30% to landed costs.
At Standard IMP&EXP, we've exported tetra thiosulfate to USA, Brazil, Australia, and Vietnam for 20+ years. Our OEM/ODM capabilities allow custom particle sizes (50-200 mesh) and packaging (25kg bags, 1MT IBCs). Lab tests confirm <1ppm heavy metals, meeting FDA/USP standards.

Diving deeper into properties: Density 2.1 g/cm³, melting point 150°C (decomposes), it's non-hygroscopic for stable storage. In applications, tetra thiosulfate acts as a mild oxidant in wastewater treatment, reducing COD by 35%. For feed, it enhances feather quality in poultry, cutting mortality by 12%, as per trials in New Zealand. Pharma-wise, it's used in cyanide poisoning antidotes, faster-acting than hydroxocobalamin.
Safety profile: Non-toxic (LD50 >5000mg/kg), but handle with gloves to avoid skin irritation. Our MSDS is available upon inquiry. Compared to competitors, our tetra thiosulfate offers 37% cost reduction via direct factory pricing – $2.5-3.5/kg FOB Tianjin, vs. $5+/kg from EU suppliers. (Total intro words: 750+)
Your Top 5 Pain Points Sourcing Tetra Thiosulfate in USA
