What is Sodium Iodide

Sodium iodide is an inorganic sodium salt and an iodide salt. It is a white, water-soluble solid made up of a 1:1 mixture of sodium cations (Na+) and iodide anions (I) in a crystal lattice under normal circumstances. It is a chaotropic salt.

It is a strong deliquescent, which absorbs moisture and transforms into a solution. It is produced by the addition of sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate to hydroiodic acid. Its primary applications in medicine are as nutritional supplements and additives.

Macsen Laboratories is the supplier of high-quality Sodium Iodide.
