The essential iodine compound ethylenediamine dihydriodide — CAS number 5700-49-2 — is widely used in animal nutrition to support thyroid function, growth and metabolism. Iofina supplies high-purity ethylenediamine dihydriodide, ensuring consistent quality for agricultural and industrial applications. This compound is beneficial in controlled amounts. Excessive exposure can lead to iodine toxicity — proper dosage and handling is essential.

What Is Ethylenediamine Dihydriodide?

Ethylenediamine dihydriodide — also known as ethane-1,2-diamine or dihydroiodide — is an organic iodine compound that provides a stable and bioavailable iodine source. It combines ethylenediamine with two hydrogen iodide molecules, enhancing iodine’s solubility and absorption in biological systems. Unlike elemental iodine, which can be volatile and reactive, this compound maintains stability under various conditions, making it a reliable supplement in animal feed and industrial formulations.

In animal nutrition, ethylenediamine dihydriodide plays a critical role in thyroid hormone production, which regulates metabolism, growth and energy levels. Animals with insufficient iodine may develop hypothyroidism. By providing a controlled iodine source, ethylenediamine dihydriodide helps maintain thyroid health, immune function and overall well-being. In manufacturing, researchers use ethylenediamine dihydriodide as a precursor for synthesizing iodine-containing compounds, taking advantage of its chemical stability and controlled reactivity.

Ethylenediamine Dihydriodide Applications

Ethylenediamine dihydriodide supports multiple industries, from animal health to chemical processing. Here are a few key applications:

Livestock and poultry nutrition: Feed manufacturers incorporate ethylenediamine dihydriodide into commercial feed formulations to prevent iodine deficiencies, which can cause metabolic disorders, stunted growth and reproductive failures. The controlled iodine release ensures animals receive optimal nutrition.
Dairy and meat production: Farmers rely on ethylenediamine dihydriodide to enhance thyroid activity and milk production in dairy cattle while improving meat quality in livestock. Proper iodine levels contribute to healthier animals.
Veterinary medicine: Veterinarians use this compound as a reactant in the production of iodine-based chemicals, leveraging its controlled solubility and reactivity in laboratory and industrial settings.
Industrial coatings and formulations: Certain specialty coatings and industrial products benefit from ethylenediamine dihydriodide’s iodine content, which can enhance formulation performance.
