Product Description
Potassium Iodide is known as Potassium Salt of Hydriodic Acid [HI], available in white crystalline powder form. It is an inorganic compound and has Molecular Formula KI. Its Ionic form is K+ I-, and iodide ion being mild reducing agent, it can be easily oxidized to Iodine by powerful oxidizing agent like chlorine. With elemental iodine it forms I3 (tri iodide), the salts of tri iodide are highly water soluble. On long exposure to air Potassium Iodide becomes yellow due to liberation of Iodine.Wide Range of ApplicationsPotassium Iodide is valued across industries for its efficacy and purity. Its primary use is as an iodine source, essential for various chemical syntheses, pharmaceutical formulations, laboratory procedures, and as a preventative measure against thyroid issues. Its consistency and high melting point also make it suitable for industrial processes requiring robust compounds.
Reliable Quality and PurityEach batch is guaranteed to meet a minimum purity of 99%, free from contaminants such as sand, silica, and heavy metals. The product's freely water-soluble form ensures ease of handling during preparation and use. Packaged in quantities over 25 kg, it supports large-scale and export needs with dependable consistency.
Safe Handling and Long Shelf LifeFor maximum stability, store Potassium Iodide in a tightly closed container, away from moisture and light. This ensures its efficacy for up to 24 months. As a non-nutritive compound with highly controlled admixture and moisture levels, it is favored by quality-focused industries worldwide.
