Periodic Acid

Periodic acid is the highest oxoacid of iodine and is used in environmental testing, biochemistry, pharmaceuticals and numerous other industries.

Iofina provides high-quality periodic acid for manufacturing, research and industrial applications. We offer stable, cost-competitive materials that keep your business productive.

What Is Periodic Acid?

Periodic acid is an oxyacid of iodine. It also has the name pentahydroxy(oxo)-λ7-iodane and the CAS number 10450-60-9. Due to its strong oxidizing properties, it’s used as a valuable reagent in chemical reactions.

Periodic Acid Applications

Periodic acid is used to strengthen certain papers in the paper industry, as an oxidizer in chemical reactions and as a weaker acid. Other primary uses in industrial, testing and manufacturing applications include:

  • Oxidizing agent: The strong oxidizing properties of periodic acid make it valuable as an oxidizing agent in chemical reactions, including oxidizing certain amino acids in proteins and carbohydrates.
  • Print chemical applications: It strengthens photographic paper and other paper types and removes polymeric stencils from silk screens.
  • Dye and colorant production: Due to its oxidizing properties, it’s often used in producing dyes and colorants.
  • Organic synthesis: Periodic acid plays a role in the oxidation of alcohols and preparing periodate esters.
  • Water quality testing: By measuring organic compounds and some pollutants, periodic acid can be used to test the quality of water in environmental laboratories.
