ReacXn Chemicals Cuprous Iodide

Copper Iodide is manufactured through a meticulous process to eliminate impurities that are known to cause discolouration. Our Copper Iodide is used as a reagent in organic synthesis, and can be used as a heat stabilizer for Nylon in technical and engineering applications. It is used as a raw material for p-type semiconductors and solar cells and also utilized in additives for upstream in the Oil and Gas industry.
