Product Code ::RXSOL-60-6605-305
Categories: Lab Chemical-60
Product Short Description: POTASSIUM IODATE AR
Product Description:

May cause severe irritation and possible burns. Ingestion: May cause burns to the gastrointestinal tract. May cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, possibly with blood. Inhalation: May cause acute pulmonary edema, asphyxia, chemical pneumonitis, and upper airway obstruction caused by edema.

Product Application:

Potassium Iodate tablets are used at the time of a nuclear emergency; the tablets stop the thyroid gland (situated in your neck) taking up radioactive iodine, which may be released into the environment following a nuclear accident. Radioactive Iodine is harmful and especially dangerous to babies and children.

Product Dose:

Potassium Iodate manufacturer, supplier and exporter. Potassium Iodate is an oxidizing agent. Potassium Iodate used primarily as a stable source of Iodine, which is liberated in the presence of Iodide ion and acid, in the titration of Thiosulfate and Sulfite solutions.

Product Note:

Potassium iodate is an oxidising agent and as such it can cause fires if in contact with combustible materials or reducing agents.

Remarks:

Potassium Iodate occurs as a white, crystalline powder. KIO3 can be used as a substitute of KI in radiation protection. A kinetic study of thermal degradation of KIO3 by γ-rays suggests that rate of decomposition increases while activation energy decreases upon irradiation.

Formula : KIO3              Molecular Wt. : 213.9927  ( or 214 )

Product Tag Identification:
Potassium iodate (KIO3) is a chemical compound. It is sometimes used in radiation treatment, as it can replace radioactive iodine from the thyroid. See potassium iodide for more information on this use.
 
Like potassium bromate, potassium iodate is occasionally used as a maturing agent in baking. Potassium iodate is an oxidizing agent and as such it can cause fires if in contact with combustible materials or reducing agents. It can be prepared by reacting a potassium-containing base such as potassium hydroxide with iodic acid, for example: 
 
HIO3 + KOH = KIO3 + H2O
 
It can also be prepared by adding iodine to a hot, concentrated solution of potassium hydroxide.
