POTASSIUM IODATE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Potassium iodate (KIO3) is a white, crystalline solid used in various industrial, medical, and food applications. It is commonly used as a source of iodine in iodized salt, as a disinfectant, and in the manufacture of certain pharmaceuticals. Potassium iodate is also employed as an oxidizing agent in chemical synthesis. Proper handling requires the use of protective equipment such as gloves and goggles to avoid skin and eye irritation. Storage should be in a cool, dry place, away from incompatible substances like reducing agents. Disposal must follow local regulations to prevent environmental contamination. Potassium iodate is valued for its effectiveness in providing essential iodine and its role as an oxidizing agent in various applications.
