What Is Ferrous Iodide?

Ferrous Iodide, also called iron(II) Iodide and identified as CAS #: 7783-86-0, is a paramagnetic solid that appears as a dark brown to black powder in its anhydrous state and exhibits a reddish-purple coloration when hydrated. This compound demonstrates notable hygroscopic characteristics, which make it readily absorb atmospheric moisture under ambient conditions.

The versatile compound dissolves readily in water and displays chemical behavior characteristic of divalent iron salts. Its solubility makes it a practical iodine source and iron precursor for various synthetic transformations.

About Iofina

Our operations focus on delivering iodine-containing compounds, halogen derivatives and specialized synthesis services to clients worldwide. As a ferrous iodide manufacturer, we offer:

  • Eco-friendly extraction techniques: We capture iodine from water flowing through established oil production infrastructure rather than developing virgin extraction sites, and this strategy limits environmental disturbance while converting a byproduct into commercial value.
  • Reliable materials: Our vertical integration from source material acquisition through final compound synthesis allows tight quality oversight, and we verify each production batch against your stated purity requirements.
  • Exceptional support: Technical specialists on our team provide application guidance, answer formulation questions and coordinate delivery schedules to align with your production timelines.
