Here are a few details regarding this chemical:
These and other properties help determine how this chemical will perform in various applications.
Calcium iodate is an oxidizer, meaning it intensifies fire. Given this property, precautionary statements warn to keep it away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames or other ignition sources. It is also corrosive and an irritant.
It is toxic if swallowed in high quantities. It may also cause severe skin burns and eye damage. If inhaled, this powder can create respiratory irritation. The potential for irritation or damage means those who handle this powder should wear proper protective gear, including gloves, eyewear and face protection.
In the case of swallowing, inhalation or contact with the eyes, users should rinse the affected area thoroughly. If someone inhales the powder, they should seek fresh air. Individuals should rinse any contaminated clothing before reuse.
This chemical has numerous uses, including the following.
One calcium iodate application includes serving as a building block for pharmaceutical ingredients. Manufacturers may use it to make antiseptics, disinfectants, deodorants and mouthwashes. As an oxidant, this compound damages or destroys microorganisms through oxidation.
When added to animal feed, calcium iodate is a source of iodine nutrition. It is preferred over other iodine sources because it has a high iodine content and greater stability. Iodine is essential for various physiological functions, such as synthesizing thyroid hormones. In the iodate form, the animals’ bodies absorb it more easily.
In minuscule quantities, this powdered substance improves the properties of yeast-leavened bakery products. It improves texture, stability and overall quality.
Iofina Resources uses a proprietary WET® IOsorb® technology to isolate iodine. This environmentally friendly process involves recovering iodine from water brine streams from oil and gas operations. Once we have extracted iodine, Iofina Chemical uses iodine to produce numerous specialty chemicals, including calcium iodate. Here are a few other advantages we offer:
