Product Description:

Cesium Iodide (CsI) is a white to slightly yellow crystalline inorganic salt widely used in radiation detection, X-ray scintillation, and optical applications. Its high atomic number makes it particularly effective in absorbing X-rays and gamma rays, making it a common material in medical imaging, industrial inspection, and scientific research.

This compound is also used in specialty optics and crystal growth experiments due to its transparency and stable crystalline properties. Cesium Iodide is suitable for laboratory and industrial applications requiring high-purity cesium salts.

Storage & Handling:

Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Avoid contact with incompatible substances such as strong oxidizers. Use gloves and eye protection when handling.

Safety Information:

May cause irritation to eyes, skin, or respiratory tract. Avoid inhalation and direct contact.
