INTRODUCTION

Hydriodic acid is a strong acid solution of hydrogen iodide in water at nominal concentrations of 47% and 57%. Its stabilized formulation ensures consistent quality and reliability in various applications. This compound often appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sharp, pungent odor, characteristic of hydrogen halides.

Manufacture

The manufacturing of 57% stabilized hydriodic acid involves the synthesis of hydrogen iodide, controlled absorption into water, and the addition of stabilizers to ensure the solution’s stability and usability.
