Calcium Iodide Dihydrate
What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Calcium Iodide Dihydrate
✅ CALCIUM IODIDE DIHYDRATE – PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Calcium Iodide Dihydrate (CAS 71626-98-7) is a highly soluble, crystalline iodide compound used in pharmaceuticals, chemical synthesis, and medical imaging. It is a hydrated form of calcium iodide, typically used as a contrast agent for X-ray imaging, as well as a reagent in organic chemical synthesis. Calcium Iodide Dihydrate is also used in iodine-based pharmaceutical formulations and as a supplement in animal feed. We provide Calcium Iodide Dihydrate in bulk with reliable supply to USA, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Chile.
