USP iodine pearls, high-purity biocide. Solid pearls of elemental iodine with a minimum purity of 99.5%, used as a raw material in the formulation of iodophor products, antiseptic and industrial disinfectants, as well as a chemical intermediate. Highly effective due to its high content of active iodine, non-volatile, and with low impurity levels: max. chlorine/bromine 50 ppm, max. iron 10 ppm, sulfates up to 75 ppm, and heavy metals under 10 ppm. Properties: solid pearl appearance, stable at room temperature (25 °C), max. non-volatile residue 0.01%. Applications: formulation of sanitizing solutions, antiseptics, laboratory use, and in pharmaceutical, food, and veterinary industries. Other names: elemental iodine, resublimed iodine. CAS 7553-56-2. Available in Monterrey, with shipping throughout Mexico.

Potassium iodate USP grade stabilizer and oxidizing agent. Fine white powder with 99.0–101.0% purity. Stable compound, highly soluble in water, mainly used in salt iodization to prevent iodine deficiency. Also serves as an additive in animal feed, wheat flour treatment, and dough conditioners, as well as in analytical and biocidal applications such as antiseptics. Applications: human and animal nutrition, baking, analytical reagent, oxidizing agent, redox titrations, and antiseptic formulations. Properties: pH 5.0–8.0 (5% solution), iodine content 58.75–59.93%, max. 20 ppm iodide, max. 100 ppm chlorate, max. 2.0 ppm arsenic, max. 10.0 ppm cadmium, max. 4.0 ppm lead, and max. 0.1 ppm mercury. Also known as E917. Available in Monterrey, with shipping throughout Mexico.
