Potassium Iodide & Sodium Iodide
Our potassium iodide & sodium iodide is an extremely versatile compound, with many applications in food and feed, life sciences, pigments, polymer additives, process chemicals and coatings. It is highly soluble in water up to concentrations of 45w%. Iodine absorbs neutrons from radioactive reactions. Due to its ability to switch between many valency states, iodide is able to participate and convert back in many acid and oxidising reactions, as well as to create stable ionic complexes with carbon containing functional groups. As a member of the halogen class in the periodic table, iodides can easily form hydro halogens at ambient temperature. Iodine ions are naturally occurring and converted in the biochemistry of fauna and play a critical role in human growth hormone regulation.

Potassium Iodate & Sodium Iodate
Our potassium iodate & sodium iodate can meet the requirements of the Food Chemicals Codex for the manufacture of food (ingredients and additives) and processing aids. It is an effective oxidising agent and has applications in food manufacturing, for example, accelerating the fermentation reactions in bread dough that enable bread to rise on baking.

It also has good stability and is approved as an iodine supplement. Iodine is essential for good health and is needed for effective thyroid gland operation, which affects the body’s metabolic and immunity functions. In the event of exposure to radiation, potassium iodate is also specified as a “thyroid blocking agent” to prevent uptake of radioactive iodine.

Sodium Periodate ( Sodium Meta Periodate )
sodium metaperiodate has important applications in the life sciences sector and the screen printing industry. In the life sciences sector, sodium metaperiodate’s ability to perform the classical “periodate 1, 2 diol cleavage” reaction with fine chemical intermediates that have adjacent hydroxyl groups is critical because the oxidation is specific; forming carbonyl compounds in high yields. This reaction is particularly important in forming dialdehyde functions for “working up” into pharmaceutical intermediates or for attaching functionalised polysaccharides to suitable substrates.

In addition the selective oxidation powers of sodium metaperiodate make it the ideal reagent for the reclamation of silk screens in the printing industry. The non-image portions of a design are normally blocked with a cured emulsion of gelatine or polyvinyl alcohol that is chemically resistant. Sodium metaperiodate selectively decomposes the cured emulsion so that it can be removed from the delicate and expensive silk screen, which can then be reused.

Potassium Periodate ( Potassium Meta Periodate )
We are one of the leading manufacturers of high purity potassium metaperiodate in the world. Our potassium metaperiodate is used in chemical manufacturing as an oxidiser

Periodic Acid
Our periodic acid is used in a range of screen printing, electronics and process chemicals applications. It is also significant in life science applications as the Periodic Acid-Schiff reaction for the analysis of intracellular polysaccharides like glycogen, starch and cellulose.
