High Purity Food Grade Potassium Iodide – Reliable Iodine Supplement Manufacturer from China

Product Introduction:

Potassium Iodide (KI) is a white crystalline powder widely used as a food additive and iodine supplement. As a vital source of dietary iodine, food grade potassium iodide plays an essential role in preventing iodine deficiency disorders such as goiter and hypothyroidism. Jiangsu Khonor Chemicals Co., Limited supplies high purity potassium iodide that meets global food safety standards, including FCC and E number specifications (E917).

Raw Material and Production Process:

The production of food grade potassium iodide begins with high-purity iodine and potassium hydroxide as the main raw materials. The reaction is carefully controlled to yield potassium iodide of minimum 99% purity. The final product undergoes strict purification, filtration, and drying processes to remove residual iodate, heavy metals, and other impurities. It is then packaged under clean-room conditions to ensure food safety compliance.
