Title: High-Purity Crystalline Iodine (Iodine) “OSCh 20-3” (min. 99.995%) – 100g

Description:

Crystalline iodine is the solid form of this non-metal halogen element, found on the periodic table. While both “iodine” and “iodide” are used, “iodine” is the more common term. Under normal conditions, it exists as dark gray crystals with a metallic luster and a violet sheen. Upon heating, it sublimes directly into a vibrant purple gas with a pungent odor. Iodine has low water solubility but readily dissolves in alcohols and many organic solvents, as well as aqueous solutions of potassium and sodium iodide. It acts as a strong oxidizing agent.

Applications:

Crystalline iodine finds extensive use in various sectors:

• Antiseptic: A widely recognized antiseptic agent.
• Chemical Industry: Used in the production of iodine derivatives, organic synthesis, indicator paper manufacturing, and standard titrant preparation.
• Laboratory Practices: Essential in iodometry (volumetric analysis).
• Rubber Industry: Utilized in the manufacturing of synthetic rubber.
• Forensic Science: Plays a role in fingerprint analysis.
• Metallurgy: Employed in metal purification processes.
• Advanced Technologies: Contributes to the production of halogen lamps, automotive lithium-ion batteries, gas lasers, and LCD monitors.

Safety Precautions:

Handle with extreme care. Use only in well-ventilated areas, employing sealed equipment and fume hoods. Monitor airborne iodine vapor levels, and always wear respirators, safety glasses, and gloves. This product is not a dietary supplement, food additive, or pharmaceutical drug. Avoid ingestion, inhalation, and contact with mucous membranes. While iodine itself is non-combustible, it can accelerate the combustion of flammable materials. Store in a dark, cool place.
