Description

Calcium Iodate Hexahydrate, 98% is an inorganic salt that serves as a vital source of iodine. This high-purity compound is essential for applications requiring controlled iodine release and stability. It is a key material for manufacturers in the animal nutrition, food fortification, and pharmaceutical industries seeking a reliable iodine supplement.

Application

• Animal Feed Additive: A critical source of dietary iodine in premixes for livestock, poultry, and aquaculture to support thyroid function and metabolic health.
• Food Fortification: Used in the production of iodized salt and other fortified food products to prevent iodine deficiency disorders.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Employed as a raw material in the synthesis of iodine-containing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and disinfectants.
• Laboratory Reagent: Serves as a standardized iodine source and oxidizing agent in analytical chemistry and research applications.
• Electrolyte Additive: Investigated for use in specific battery chemistries to enhance performance and stability.
• Water Treatment: Acts as an iodine donor in certain disinfection and sanitization processes.

Quality Control

Our Calcium Iodate Hexahydrate, 98% is produced under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, heavy metal content, and loss on drying. While not USP or FCC grade by default, production can be aligned with relevant feed or food additive standards upon request. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in original packaging or a desiccated environment to prevent caking and degradation.
