Sodium Iodide

Sodium iodide (NaI) is a highly soluble ionic compound valued for its effectiveness in medical, industrial and scientific applications. It has various uses in medical imaging, radiation detection and pharmaceutical formulations, where iodine delivery is essential. 

What Is Sodium Iodide?

Sodium iodide is also known as sodium monoiodide or the trade name Ioduril. It is an ionic compound composed of sodium and iodide. This white, crystalline and highly water-soluble salt serves as an important source of iodine in various applications. Its versatility and reliability make it a key ingredient in several industries, including health care and advanced research. 

Proper storage is essential as prolonged exposure to the air can cause sodium iodide to degrade, leading to discoloration and reduced effectiveness. Use sodium iodide with caution, as contact can cause skin, eye and respiratory irritation. Prolonged exposure or ingestion may affect the thyroid gland. 

Sodium Iodide Applications

Due to its hygroscopic nature, sodium iodide — Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) number 7681-82-5 — is useful in pharmaceutical and medical formulations where rapid iodine delivery is required. Some of the primary applications include:

  • Chemical synthesis: Sodium iodide serves as a reagent in organic and industrial chemistry. 
  • Food and supplement manufacturing: It may be used as a supplement in iodine deficiency treatment or as a preservative in certain food products. It is sometimes an ingredient in oral solutions or mouthwashes due to its antiseptic properties. 
  • Pharmaceuticals: It is often an ingredient in topical antiseptics and disinfectants due to its antibacterial properties. The pharmaceutical industry may also use sodium iodide in iodine-based ointments and solutions for treating wounds.
  • Radiation detection: Ioduril is a key material in scintillation detectors for detecting gamma rays. 
  • Medical imaging: It plays a role in diagnostic procedures and treatment of thyroid-related conditions.
