Ethyl Iodide

Ethyl iodide is a chemical compound and is derived from ethane. It’s used in coating and paint additives in various industries, including the resin manufacturing and plastics materials sectors. Ethyl iodide is soluble in organic solvents like ether and ethanol but not very soluble in water. 

Iofina produces and provides versatile, clean ethyl iodide using sustainable extraction practices.

What Is Ethyl Iodide?

Ethyl iodide, CAS number 75-03-6, is synthesized by reacting ethyl alcohol with phosphorous and iodine. It’s also known as iodoethane. It’s a colorless and flammable liquid that can be identified by its distinct odor. Ethyl iodide is an irritant and should always be handled with caution.

Ethyl Iodide Applications

Ethyl iodide is particularly valuable in synthetic applications in organic chemistry. Some of its primary applications include:

  • Synthesis of dyes and compounds: Ethyl iodide is used to synthesize cyanide dyes for medical imaging and organic electronics.
  • Catalyst: Ethyl iodide is primarily employed as a catalyst for the colorant, plastic and food industries.
  • Pesticide development: This compound can be valuable in pesticide and agrochemical development for agricultural pest management.
