Potassium Iodide
SINOBIO
281511000
CAS No.: 7681-11-0
Formula: Ki
EINECS: 231-659-4
Type: Pharmaceutical Intermediates
Appearance: Powder
Quality: Industrial
Potassium iodide is commonly known as gray iodine. Chemical formula KI. Molecular weight 166.00. Colorless or white cubic crystals. The taste is salty and bitter. Slightly deliquescent in humid air, easily oxidized when exposed to air, precipitates iodine and gradually turns yellow. Light and moisture can accelerate its decomposition. Specific gravity 3.13. Melting point 681 ºC. Boiling point 1330 ºC. Easy to dissolve in water, soluble in ethanol, glycerol, and liquid slightly soluble in ether. Its aqueous solution is neutral or slightly alkaline, and water-soluble Chemicalbook solution can dissolve iodine, generating triiodide ions (I3-). Its aqueous solution is also prone to oxidation and yellowing, making it easier when acidic. Adding alkali can prevent it. Obtained by the interaction of hydroiodic acid and potassium bicarbonate. Used as an analytical reagent and raw material for producing iodides and dyes, as well as as as a photosensitive emulsifier and food additive. In medicine, it is used to prevent and treat goiter (large neck disease), as well as for preoperative preparation of hyperthyroidism. In addition, it can also be used as expectorant and diuretic drugs.
Potassium iodide (KI) is a chemical compound composed of potassium and iodine. It is a crystalline salt that is colorless and odorless. Potassium iodide has various applications, both in the medical field and in industrial processes. Its most well-known use is in the prevention of thyroid damage caused by exposure to radioactive iodine.

Nuclear Emergency Preparedness: In the event of a nuclear accident or release of radioactive iodine, potassium iodide tablets are distributed to populations at risk to be taken as a preventive measure.
Iodine Deficiency Disorders: Potassium iodide is used in iodine supplementation programs to prevent iodine deficiency disorders, particularly in areas where there is insufficient iodine in the diet.
Photography: It is used in the photographic industry as a component of photographic chemicals.
Pharmaceuticals: Potassium iodide is employed in certain pharmaceutical formulations, such as expectorants and antifungal medications.
Analytical Chemistry: Potassium iodide is used in analytical chemistry for various titrations and reactions.
Laboratory Reagent: It serves as a reagent in laboratories for various chemical reactions and experiments.
Food Industry: In some cases, potassium iodide is used as a stabilizer and anti-caking agent in the food industry.
Radioprotection: Potassium iodide is used as a radioprotective agent in situations of potential exposure to radioactive iodine. It works by saturating the thyroid gland with stable iodine, reducing the uptake of radioactive iodine and preventing the risk of thyroid cancer and other thyroid-related disorders.
Iodine Deficiency Prevention: In regions where there is a risk of iodine deficiency, potassium iodide is used to supplement dietary iodine, preventing conditions such as goiter and hypothyroidism.
Chemical Intermediary: Potassium iodide serves as a chemical intermediary in various industrial processes, including the production of photographic chemicals, dyes, and some pharmaceuticals.
-It should be stored in a cool, ventilated, light-proof warehouse.
-When transporting, it should be protected from rain and sunshine.
-When loading and unloading, it should be carried gently and placed lightly, and vibration and impact are strictly prohibited.
Packing: 25kg/drum. 25kg/bag. We provide customized package for different quantity.
Shipping: by express DHL,FEDEX,TNT......or as your requirement.
Payment: T/T,western union,moneygram or as your requirement.
