Potassium Iodate

Potassium Iodate

Potassium Iodate (KIO₃) is a powerful and stable iodine compound widely used in food fortification, medical applications, and chemical processes. Appearing as a white crystalline powder, it is known for its long shelf life, high purity, and reliable performance under varying environmental conditions.

In the food industry, Potassium Iodate is primarily used to iodize table salt, helping prevent iodine deficiency disorders such as goiter and developmental issues. Its stability makes it especially valuable in regions with humid climates, where other iodine compounds degrade quickly.

In the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors, Potassium Iodate serves as an emergency source of iodine for thyroid protection during nuclear events. It is also used in certain antiseptic formulations and laboratory reagents due to its oxidizing properties.

Industrially, it finds applications in analytical chemistry, iodometric titrations, and as a component in some disinfectants and dyes. Its predictable reactivity and consistent quality make it suitable for a wide range of technical uses.
