Potassium Iodate CP – The chemical formula for potassium iodate is KIO3 . Potassium Iodate is a well known compound which has grown popular due to its use as the main chemical compound for the iodization of edible common salts and for providing a convenient way of performing iodometric titration.
- Common uses of Potassium Iodate(KIO3) include:
The iodination of common table salt (due to the ability of iodide to be oxidised by molecular oxygen to iodine under wet conditions.) - Analysis of testing arsenic and zinc.
- Iodometric titration in the manufacturing of medicines.
- Maturing agent and dough conditioner in the food industry.
- To feed additives when used as a reagent.
Warning: As Potassium iodate is an oxidising agent, it is highly flammable and can cause fires when coming into contact with combustible materials and/or reducing agents.
We offer Potassium Iodate in 500g CP -& AR Grade. Industrial grade Potassium Iodate is available in 25kg quantities.

Engineering Controls: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.
Eye/Face Protection: Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166. Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
Skin Protection: Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without touching glove’s outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.
Full contact –
Material: Nitrile rubber. Minimum layer thickness: 0,11 mm.

Data source: KCL GmbH, D-36124 , Test method: EN374.
If used in solution, or mixed with other substances, and under conditions which differ from EN 374, contact the supplier of the CE approved gloves. This recommendation is advisory only and must be evaluated by an industrial hygienist and safety officer familiar with the specific situation of anticipated use by our customers. It should not be construed as offering an approval for any specific use scenario.
Body Protection: Impervious clothing. The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
Respiratory Protection: Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face particle respirator type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
