Potassium Iodide (CAS NO : 7681-11-0)

Potassium lodide (KI) is the most widely recognized source of iodine for human nutrition. KI is highly susceptible to sublimation and oxidation, especially when exposed to moisture, light, or acidic environments. However our high-performance Potassium Iodide portfolio is engineered to solve the extreme volatility and stability challenges of iodine fortification, particularly in preventing the "purple staining" and oxidative loss common in standard iodide salts: Nutraceuticals (Thyroid Health Actives, Essential Micronutrients); Food Ingredients (Fortification Agents (Salt/Flour), Iodine Sources); Nutritional Actives (Developmental Micronutrients, Pediatric Premixes). We utilize world-class manufacturing infrastructure, with standards on par with global leaders like DSM and BASF, to deliver Potassium lodide ME & NGLP 1%. By encasing the K 1 in a specialized 1% standardized matrix, we provide Thyro-Block formulators with a stable, easy-to-blend product that eliminates the risk of "hot spots" and ensures 100% assay retention throughout the product shelf life. We are globally established Potassium lodide suppliers, ensuring reliable lead times and quality assurance through comprehensive regulatory documentation, CoA, TDS across all grades/forms.

Chemical Properties & Specifications

Applications of Potassium Iodide

Public Health & Universal Salt Iodization (USI)

Primary active for preventing Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD). Our ME technology ensures the iodine remains stable even in low-grade salt, high-humidity environments, and during transport

Infant Nutrition & Formula

Critical micronutrient for Thyroid Hormone Synthesis and cognitive development. Micro-encapsulation ensures zero reaction with sensitive fats or proteins in the formula

Maternal & Prenatal Health

Essential for fetal brain development. Our 1% ME powder allows for high-precision microdosing in prenatal multivitamins

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

Optimised for high tableting recovery (95–98%), ensuring the delicate iodide ions are not oxidised to molecular iodine (which causes discolouration) during the compression process. Food & Beverage Fortification: Used in the fortification of flour, milk, and condiments. The ME barrier prevents interaction with iron or other minerals that typically cause instability in premixes

Catalyst

A catalyst for the conversion of aromatic primary amines to nitro compounds, the conversion of aryl halides to aryl iodides, and the preparation of sulfonated oxindoles

Reducing Agent

A reducing agent for the reduction of graphene oxide in the presence of hydrochloric acid

Reagent

A reagent used in the preparation of standard iodide stock solutions for size exclusion chromatography and the spectrophotometric determination of advanced oxidation protein products

Material Synthesis Precursor

A precursor used as an additive to fabricate perovskite solar cells and light-emitting diodes to enhance stability and performance

Cathode Material

A cost-effective cathode material for efficient potassium-ion storage in batteries

Medication

A medication used to treat hyperthyroidism, protect the thyroid gland from radiation, and treat dermatological conditions like cutaneous sporotrichosis

Dietary Supplement

A nutritional supplement added to table salt and animal feed to prevent iodine deficiency

Expectorant

An expectorant used to loosen mucus and increase the water content of respiratory secretions

Scavenger

A scavenger of hydroxyl radicals to inhibit active oxygen and prevent DNA damage

Chaotropic Agent

A chaotropic agent used at high concentrations to dissolve gel matrices for the recovery of DNA from gel slices

Pure K I is used in extremely small quantities (micrograms). Handling pure powder in a large-scale manufacturing plant makes it nearly impossible to achieve a homogenous blend, leading to dangerous "hot spots." Our 1% standardized ME powder allows for accurate weighing and uniform distribution, ensuring every single tablet or serving meets the exact label claim.

lodine is prone to oxidation, which turns products yellow, brown, or purple. Our Micro-encapsulation (ME) shields the K I from air and moisture. This prevents the iodide from converting into elemental iodine, thereby protecting the aesthetic integrity of tablets, salt, and fortified foods.

Yes. Our 1% ME powder is optimized for a high tableting recovery of 95–98%. The micro-capsules are engineered to withstand the mechanical stress of high-speed presses without rupturing, ensuring the iodine remains "masked" and stable within the final tablet matrix.

The NGLP technology provides a slow-release mechanism in the gut. This prevents the sudden "spike" of iodide in the stomach, which can sometimes cause irritation or a metallic aftertaste. It ensures a steady delivery of iodine for optimal thyroid uptake.

We are a globally established supplier providing full regulatory, documentation (Potassium Iodide CoA), and stability support. Every batch is accompanied by 3-month accelerated and 6-month real-time stability data, ensuring your R&D teams have the data required for global compliance and shelf-life validation.

Potassium Iodide is an inorganic salt with the formula KI used to treat overactive thyroid conditions and protect the thyroid gland from radiation injury during nuclear emergencies by blocking the uptake of radioactive iodine

It is universally utilized in the pharmaceutical, food, animal feed, photography, chemical manufacturing, and electronics industries

This compound is commonly used in oral solutions, syrups, tablets, disinfectants, dietary supplements, and as a heat stabilizer in nylon and polarizing films

Standard specifications include CAS Number 7681-11-0, a molecular weight of 166.00, high purity (typically 99.0-100.5%), and documentation such as COA, TDS, impurity reports, and regulatory compliance documents

Scimplify has capabilities for global distribution and custom synthesis through an integrated network of manufacturers and logistics partners with reliable lead time

The product is export ready with a standard MOQ starting from 100 kgs, with lead times for international customers depending on the shipping destination and specific grade.
