Wikipedia Linking Material Safety Data Sheet Google Scholar Search Drug Information Portal (U.S. National Library of Medicine) - CALCIUM IODATE www.ceecis.org/ Production of Animal Feed Grade Iodine Products: The forms of iodine most commonly used in animal feed are calcium iodate, ethylenediamine dihydriodide (EDDI), and potassium iodide. Crude iodine (99.9% iodine) is refined as a co-product from brines associated with underground gas and oil wells in Japan and the U.S. In Chile, it is refined as a co-product with potassium nitrate from caliche deposits which are mined by open pit methods. Iodine salts are manufactured from crude iodine and are very pure. There are three major converters of crude iodine to feed grade salts in the U.S. and Canada. Factors Affecting Iodine Pricing and Supply: Historically, iodine price fluctuations occur due to varying yen vs. dollar exchange rates, as well as supply and demand factors. Chilean iodine is handled by one marketing agent, while the Japanese own most of the U.S. iodine production. Consequently, Chile and Japan control market prices of crude iodine. Pricing of elemental iodine has generally ranged between $2-$8/lb, but reached a new high in 1997 when it averaged $8.60/lb. Crude iodine supplies have been tight since 1995. As Chile brings new capacity on line, market tightness should be alleviated and pricing will stabilize. Local: APPLICATIONS: animal feed, Food Industry, the manufacture of disinfectants, antiseptics and deodorants. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF DISINFECTANT: Disinfectant is an agent applied to inanimate objects to destroy, neutralize, or inhibit the growth of disease-carrying microorganisms, (whereas antiseptics are applied primarily to living things). Heat and radiation are also disinfectants. Common ingredients of chemical disinfectant are: Mercuric Chlorides Formaldehyde 8-Hydroxyquinoline Copper Hydroxide Cresol Alcohols (Ethyl Alcohol; Isopropyl Alcohol) Iodines / Iodophors Chlorine releasing compounds Gluteraldehyde Phenolics Quaternary Ammonium Compounds
