Potassium Iodide

Potassium Iodide by William Blythe is an extremely versatile heat and light stabilizer designed for engineering polyamides, in conjunction with copper (I) iodide. It is a key component for inducing polarising functionality of polymer films in touch screens. It absorbs neutrons from radioactive reactions. Due to its ability to switch between many valency states, iodide is able to participate and convert back in many acid and oxidizing reactions, as well as to create stable ionic complexes with carbon-containing functional groups. Potassium Iodide can easily form hydro halogens at ambient temperature, as iodine is a member of the halogen class.
