China and the United States are the leading exporters of periodic acid (CAS 10450-60-9), accounting for the majority of global shipments, while Germany, Japan, and South Korea are the largest importers, driven by pharmaceutical and analytical chemistry demand. Trade volumes have remained relatively stable over the past three years, with modest upward pressure on periodic acid prices reflecting tightening supply from key Chinese producers amid regulatory refinements in chemical manufacturing.
Periodic acid is a white, crystalline, odorless solid that is highly soluble in water and hygroscopic. It is an inorganic oxyacid of iodine, existing commonly as the ortho-form (H5IO6) and exhibiting strong oxidizing properties. Periodic acid is primarily used as a selective oxidant in organic synthesis—especially for cleaving vicinal diols to yield aldehydes or ketones—and serves as a key reagent in carbohydrate chemistry and histochemical staining. Its main industrial applications are in pharmaceutical research and development, diagnostic reagent manufacturing, and specialized synthetic pathways for bioactive molecules and nucleic acid probes.
PERIODIC ACID is used as an oxidiser and in the determination of manganese.
PERIODIC ACID is colourless crystals
