FAQ's of Iodine:
Q: How should iodine be safely stored for maximum shelf life?
A: Iodine should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Suitable packaging, such as glass bottles or HDPE containers, helps prevent degradation, ensuring a shelf life of up to 24 months.
Q: What are the main benefits of using high-purity (99%) laboratory grade iodine?
A: High-purity iodine ensures reliable results in analytical, research, and industrial applications, minimizing contaminants that could affect outcomes in sensitive experiments or formulations.
Q: Where is this iodine product commonly used?
A: This iodine is widely used in laboratories for analytical procedures, in chemical synthesis, and various industrial processes requiring high-purity iodine. It is also supplied to dealers, exporters, and retailers in India.
Q: What is the proper process for handling and using crystalline iodine safely?
A: When handling iodine, use protective gear like gloves and goggles, and work in a well-ventilated space due to its pungent odor. Avoid moisture and direct skin contact, as iodine can stain and is volatile at room temperature.
Q: How can iodine's solubility impact its usage in laboratory applications?
A: Iodine is insoluble in water but dissolves readily in alcohol and ether. This solubility profile allows for diverse applications, such as preparing tinctures and solutions for chemical analyses.
Q: What is the significance of the UN number and HS code for this iodine product?
A: The UN number 3495 and HS code 28012000 classify iodine for safe transport and import/export, ensuring compliance with international safety, handling, and trade regulations.
