Description

Calcium Iodate is an essential inorganic salt widely recognized for its role as a reliable source of bioavailable iodine. This compound is critical for ensuring nutritional fortification and supporting specific industrial chemical processes. It is a key material for manufacturers in the animal feed, food, and pharmaceutical sectors who require a stable, high-purity iodine supplement.

Application

• Animal Feed Additive: A primary source of dietary iodine in premixes for livestock, poultry, and aquaculture to prevent iodine deficiency disorders and support thyroid health.
• Food Fortification: Used as a dough conditioner and iodine fortificant (E917) in bread and bakery products to address public health nutritional needs.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a raw material in the synthesis of iodine-containing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and disinfectants.
• Salt Iodization: Employed in the production of iodized table salt as an alternative to potassium iodate, offering different solubility characteristics.
• Laboratory Reagent: Used in analytical chemistry and research as a standard or oxidizing agent in specific titrimetric methods.
• Other Industrial Uses: Finds application in niche areas such as cloud seeding and in the manufacturing of speciality chemicals.

Quality Control

Our Calcium Iodate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. We offer grades suitable for feed, food, and technical applications, with production processes designed to meet relevant purity and safety standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, heavy metals, and loss on drying are provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C.
