Product Overview & Quality

Product Name: Potassium hydrogen di-iodate (Potassium biiodate)
Brand: Kemaus (Product Code: KA-3105)
Grade: Laboratory Grade (Lab Grade) with a high certified purity of 99 percent or higher. Manufactured under Kemaus standard laboratory quality control protocols to ensure excellent physical uniformity and high chemical stability. It is non-hygroscopic under standard air setups, making it highly reliable for volumetric baselines, chemical assays, and redox experiments.
Physical Properties: Odorless, white crystalline powder or colorless crystals. It acts as a strong corrosive oxidizer.
Solubility: Moderately soluble in cold water (solubility increases substantially in hot water). Yields a distinctly acidic aqueous solution.
Key Use: Heavily utilized as an excellent primary chemical standard in analytical chemistry for standardizing sodium thiosulfate solutions in iodometric titrations. Commonly applied as a stable reagent for generating precise volumetric iodine or iodate matrices. Functions as an effective oxidizing agent in redox chemical synthesis, and used as a specialized component in industrial chemical formulation research.

Safety & Hazards (Critical & Corrosive)

Classification: May intensify fire; oxidizer. Causes severe skin burns and eye damage. May cause respiratory irritation.
Health Risks: Direct tissue or ocular exposure triggers immediate severe stinging irritation, painful chemical burns, and potential permanent vision damage. Inhalation of fine airborne dust aggressively irritates the upper respiratory tract, inducing coughing or chest tightness. Ingestion causes immediate corrosive destruction to gastrointestinal membranes.
First Aid Measures: Flush affected eyes or skin immediately with plenty of flowing water for at least 15 minutes. Seek urgent medical emergency evaluation immediately.

Handling & Storage

Storage: Strong Oxidizer and Corrosive Substance. It can accelerate the combustion of surrounding materials. Must be stored in its original, tightly sealed Kemaus container inside a dedicated chemical safety cabinet for oxidizers. Keep in a cool, strictly dry, and well-ventilated dedicated space at stable room temperature (below 30 degrees Celsius). Keep completely isolated from flammable materials, organic solvents, reducing agents, and strong acids.
Precautions: Wear standard personal protective equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant laboratory gloves, safety glasses, and a fine particulate dust respirator. Avoid handling near open heat sources or generating dust clouds during routine workflows.
