Description:
Potassium iodide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula KI. It appears as a white, crystalline solid or colorless to white granules that are highly soluble in water. Potassium iodide is widely used in various industrial, pharmaceutical, and laboratory applications. It is most commonly used as a source of iodine and in the treatment of iodine deficiency. Additionally, it serves as a reagent in chemical reactions, in photography, and as a component in radiation safety procedures.

Potassium iodide is often used in medicine to prevent thyroid problems, particularly in the event of radiation exposure. It can block the thyroid’s uptake of radioactive iodine, thereby preventing radiation-induced damage. Potassium iodide is also employed in the manufacture of iodized salt, where it serves as a dietary supplement to prevent iodine deficiency, which can lead to thyroid gland problems such as goiter. note: our potassium iodide is neither of pharmaceutical nor food quality and is strictly for research purposes.
