Applications of Calcium Iodate
Food Sector
- Food-grade Calcium Iodate is used as a food additive in table salt, dairy products, flour, and flour products, serving as a daily source of iodine, which is essential for the human body.
- Food-grade Calcium Iodate, used as a nutritional fortifier in the production of special medical purpose formula foods or infant complementary foods requiring iodine fortification, offers higher safety.
- Food-grade or feed-grade Calcium Iodate can be used as a supplementary ingredient in livestock and aquatic animal feed. Supplementing iodine through feed ensures normal growth and development and proper thyroid function, thereby improving production performance and disease resistance.
Oral Health Field
- Calcium Iodate can be used in the production of anti-cavity toothpaste (Calcium Iodate is one of the core active ingredients), therapeutic mouthwash (to help control gingivitis and periodontitis), and oral sprays/lozenges (to relieve mild sore throat or mouth ulcers). It works by slowly releasing iodate ions in the mouth, effectively providing antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects and inhibiting dental plaque.
- Calcium Iodate can be used as an additive in dental restorative materials, helping to provide the material with sustained antibacterial properties and extending the lifespan of the restoration.
Industrial Sector
- Industrial-grade Calcium Iodate can be used as a purple coloring agent and oxidizing agent in the manufacture of fireworks to produce purple luminous effects or other signal flares.
- Industrial-grade Calcium Iodate can be used as a chemical reagent, acting as a mild oxidizing agent or iodine source, and is used in specific organic synthesis and analytical chemistry.
