William Blythe is the world’s leading manufacturer of periodic acid. Our unique production technology uses a proprietary multi-stage process that reduces trace impurities to ppb levels and allows us to produce large volumes of very high purity periodic acid. William Blythe understands that impurity levels are critical to many of the applications of periodic acid and is continually investing to reduce trace impurity levels to meet customer needs. Our periodic acid is successfully used in a range of screen printing, electronics and process chemicals applications. It is also significant in life science applications as the Periodic Acid-Schiff reaction for the analysis of intracellular polysaccharides like glycogen, starch and cellulose.
