Potassium Iodate manufacturer in India, Samrat Pharmachem Limited

Potassium iodate is an ionic chemical compound that with an equal ratio of K+ and IO3- ions. Since it is an oxidising agent it can cause fire if it comes in contact with reducing agent or combustible materials. It is majorly used for iodizing of table salt through the process of iodisation. Iodine deficiency is the major cause of preventable mental retardation around the world therefore certain derivative of iodine such as potassium iodate is added to table salt in small quantity to provide a stable source of iodine in daily diet.

It is used to avoid accumulation of radioactive iodine in the thyroid by introducing the body with enough source of iodine so as to saturate the body with it prior to exposure.

Potassium iodate is also used in pharmaceuticals in production and preparation of antiseptics, disinfectants and deodorants.Product descriptionColour : White Solubility in water : Slightly soluble Texture : Crystalline Form : Powder Content of Iodine : 62%
