Reliable Storage and Shelf LifeIodine Crude must be stored in air-tight containers, away from sunlight, in cool and dry locations. Proper storage conditions help maintain its integrity and efficacy for up to three years. Exposure to light initiates decomposition, so a well-ventilated, shaded storage area is crucial for safety and product longevity.
Versatile Applications Across IndustriesWith a purity of 99.5%, Iodine Crude is primarily used in pharmaceuticals, chemical synthesis, catalysts, and as a disinfectant. Its capability to sublime and its solubility in various organic solvents make it invaluable in advanced chemical processes, photography, and iodine-based formulations.
Safe Handling and Regulatory ComplianceAs a toxic and corrosive solid, handling Iodine Crude requires appropriate protective gear and adherence to regulatory guidelines. It is classified under UN 3495 as a Class 8 corrosive substance. Manufacturers, suppliers, and traders must comply with hazardous material regulations during storage and transportation.
