As an oxidising agent, potassium iodate can ignite flames when it comes into contact with reducing or flammable substances.

Potassium iodate’s chemical formula is KIO3. It can be made by reacting iodic acid with potassium bases, such as KOH. The main chemical ingredient used to iodize common edible salts is potassium iodate. It offers a practical method for carrying out iodometric calculations. Thorium can also occasionally be precipitated using potassium iodate, mostly to extract it from rare earth elements.
