Potassium Iodide ACS; 101.08, Potassium Iodide 45% Soln.; 101.09, Potassium Iodide 50% Soln., 101.84
Potassium Iodide Photo Grade.
Formula: KI
CAS No.: 7681-11-0
Formula Description: Technical: Off white to light brown crystals or granular powder. USP/ACS/Photo:
Colorless or white crystals or granular powder; slightly hygroscopic in moist air. Tends to cake during storage.
On long exposure to air becomes yellow due to liberation of iodine. Light and moisture accelerates
decomposition. 45% & 50% Solution: Clear colorless to light yellow solution.
Recommended Use: Potassium Iodide is an inorganic halogenated salt that is used in the textile industry as a
heat dispersant, a corrosion inhibitor/acid intensifier in oilfield gas production, used in x-ray films, LCD
manufacturing, nylon stabilizer, trace mineral in animal feeds and/or dietary supplement and food additive.
