Iodine Prills 99.8% Min – High Purity Crystalline Elemental Iodine

Iodine Prills are free-flowing, violet-colored crystalline pellets formed by the solidification of elemental iodine. With a purity of 99.8% or higher, this product is essential in various sectors, including medical antiseptics, animal nutrition, LCD screen manufacturing, and X-ray contrast media.

Cavin Resource sources iodine from reliable mineral brine or seaweed processing plants, ensuring consistent supply and quality. Our iodine prills are stabilized for long-term storage and available in moisture-proof, sealed containers.

We ship globally to pharmaceutical manufacturers, chemical processors, water treatment facilities, and electronic component producers, ensuring regulatory compliance and export certification.

⚙️ Production Method

Oxidation of Brine-Sourced Iodide Method

1. Iodine is extracted from brine via oxidation (chlorine gas treatment).

2. Iodine crystals are purified and melted.

3. Melted iodine is cooled into prill form—uniform beads.

$$\text{2 I⁻ + Cl₂ → I₂ + 2 Cl⁻}$$

This results in high-purity, stable, non-clumping iodine prills.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is the difference between iodine prills and flakes?

Answer:
Prills are uniform, bead-like forms that flow easily and resist clumping, while flakes are irregular and more prone to dusting and moisture uptake.

2. Is your iodine safe for pharmaceutical use?

Answer:
Yes. We offer GMP-compliant iodine with full COA and heavy metal testing for pharma-grade use.

3. How do I request documentation for import clearance?

Answer:
Every shipment includes MSDS, COA, UN declaration, and packing list. Custom documentation available upon request.

4. Can you provide iodine for electronic component manufacturing?

Answer:
Yes. Our prills are high-purity and free of contaminants, suitable for electronic-grade applications like LCDs.

5. How do you package iodine to prevent degradation?

Answer:
Iodine prills are sealed in airtight, UV-protected drums with inner liners that block moisture and air ingress.
