Sodium Iodide

Industrial Usage: Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Textile


The sodium Iodide manufacturer in India are one of the best manufacturers, suppliers and exporters of Sodium iodide. The salt compound of sodium and iodide is prepared with the finest quality of Sodium Hydroxide and approved Iodine under proper conditions as per the market standards. Sodium Iodide is majorly used in dietary supplement as well as in organic chemistry. Its applications can also be seen in various other industries as well such as textile, cosmetic, food and beverages, and agriculture.

Sodium Iodide being an important source of elemental iodine, finds its applications in various industries and in chemical reactions. It has a melting point of 661°C and is a hygroscopic compound. Naturally, Iodine occurs in a state of Iodide salts and is naturally found as a component in sea-water.

Dietary supplement: As nutritional supplement it is used in iodisation of table salt to prevent iodine deficiency. People who do not have sufficient seafood in their diet are prone to Iodine deficiency, which is a leading cause of preventable mental retardation around the world. It is also used in animal food products.

Nuclear medicine: Sodium Iodide is used to saturate the body with non-radioactive Iodine to prevent thyroid cancer that may be caused due to nuclear accident/attack and due to use of radiopharmaceuticals.
