- Product Information
GHS Product Identifier: 101.07, Potassium Iodide Technical; 101.24, Potassium Iodide USP; 101.14, Potassium Iodide ACS; 101.08, Potassium Iodide 45% Soln.; 101.09, Potassium Iodide 50% Soln.; 101.84, Potassium Iodide Photo Grade. Formula Description: Technical: Off white to light brown crystals or granular powder. USP/ACS/Photo: Colorless or white crystals or granular powder; slightly hygroscopic in moist air. Tends to cake during storage. On long exposure to air becomes yellow due to liberation of iodine. Light and moisture accelerates decomposition. 45% & 50% Solution: Clear colorless to light yellow solution.
