Potassium iodide (KI) is a key compound used in radiation protection, chemical synthesis and the treatment of iodine deficiency. Iofina offers a reliable source of high-quality potassium iodide extracted with sustainable practices to meet your industrial and pharmaceutical needs.
The chemical compound potassium iodide is made up of potassium and iodine. It has a white, solid crystalline appearance and is highly water-soluble. Potassium iodide has a wide range of applications across different fields.
While this compound is generally stable, potassium iodide is moisture-sensitive, especially when exposed to air for long periods, which may cause degradation or iodine formation. Although it is considered safe, excessive consumption can lead to iodine toxicity, which can affect the thyroid gland and cause conditions like hyperthyroidism. It can also cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in individuals sensitive to iodine. Excessive or prolonged use may cause side effects like skin rashes and swelling of the salivary glands.
