• Identification

  	EINECS Nr. 2316793 (NaI)
  		2164728 (Calcium stearate)
  	CAS Nr. 7681-82-5 (NaI)
  		1592-23-0 (Calcium stearate)

• Chemical characteristics (typical)

  Assay as NaI		99 %
  Iodine content		84.66 %
  Heavy metals, as lead		10 ppm

• Physical properties (typical)

  appearance		white crystalline powder
  solubility		very soluble in water (1 gram dissolves in 0.5 ml)
  reaction to atmosphere		deliquescent (absorbs up to 0.5 % moisture from air)

• Handling / storage / toxicity / transport

  Sodium iodide is not toxic and is approved for consumption by both animals and humans.
  Handling	avoid dust formation and wear appropriate personal protection equipment for ‘nuisance dust’.
  Storage	keep away from oxidising agents, keep closed to prevent water absorption, protect from light and contact with minerals to prevent decomposition
  Toxicity	non-toxic
  Hazards	irritant
  Transport	UN N° = no classification IMDG Class = not classified as dangerous in the meaning of transport regulations.

• Specific advantages
  Iodine is readily assimilated into the body in the form of iodide.
  Sodium iodide contains more iodine than any other approved source of iodine in feeds.
  Stabilised forms are available to prevent moisture absorption and release of iodine by decomposition during storage.
