Potassium Iodide (KI) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- KI
- Iodide of Potassium
Potassium iodide supplier for pharmaceutical, food, feed, laboratory and industrial buyers in Malaysia. Also identified as KI or iodide of potassium, this white crystalline salt is selected as a soluble iodine source for fortification, raw-material formulation, analytical reagents and technical iodine chemistry. It is distinct from elemental iodine, potassium iodate and finished iodide tablets.
Commercial supply covers pharmaceutical, food, reagent and technical grades in crystalline powder or crystal form. Grade and purity requirements vary by application, so buyers should state the intended use, target specification and any assay or impurity limits rather than relying on a single generic label.
Typical uses include salt iodisation and nutrient premixes, pharmaceutical raw-material formulations, animal-nutrition premixes, laboratory iodometric work, photographic chemistry and industrial iodine formulations. Frame the enquiry around bulk raw material, not consumer dosage or radiation-pack products.
Send the required grade, form, target specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Potassium Iodide grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pharmaceutical grade potassium iodide | white crystalline powder or crystals | commonly specified at high purity against the buyer's monograph | Raw-material input for pharmaceutical and related iodine formulations where a controlled purity grade is required. Not a finished dosage form. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Food grade potassium iodide | fine white crystalline powder | — | Salt iodisation, nutrient premixes and food fortification routes that specify potassium iodide as the iodine source rather than other iodine compounds. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Reagent grade potassium iodide | refined crystalline powder or crystals | — | Laboratory and analytical work, including iodometric titration and other reagent uses where tighter impurity control is requested. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Technical grade potassium iodide | white crystalline powder or crystals | — | Photographic chemistry, industrial iodine formulations, synthesis and other process uses where a technical grade is suitable. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about potassium iodide
Is potassium iodide the same as iodine or potassium iodate?
No. Potassium iodide is the KI salt. Elemental iodine (I2), potassium iodate, povidone iodine and Lugol's solution are different materials and should not be substituted without checking the process or formulation requirement.
What does KI mean on a product enquiry?
KI is the chemical formula for potassium iodide. Use it beside the full name when enquiring, and state the grade, form and any assay or impurity limits so the quotation matches the intended raw-material use.
Which grade should I request for salt iodisation or fortification?
Food-grade potassium iodide is the usual starting point for salt iodisation and nutrient premixes. Send the fortification specification, target iodine contribution and any documentation needs with the enquiry.
Do you supply finished potassium iodide tablets or radiation-protection packs?
This page covers raw potassium iodide as a bulk chemical. Finished tablets, consumer packs and dosage products are outside the raw-material offer. Describe the formulation or process requirement if you need bulk KI.
What specifications should a buyer provide for potassium iodide?
State grade or form, any assay, moisture or impurity limits, intended application, quantity and delivery location. If a production specification already exists, include it so the requested grade can be matched more closely.
Can packing and documentation be confirmed with the quotation?
Yes. List the preferred pack format and any product documents needed with the enquiry. Available packing, documentation and commercial details are confirmed for the quoted grade.
