About Potassium Chloride

Potassium Chloride

We are manufacturing Potassium Chloride in Technical, Pure & LR Grade.
These Products are available in 50 kgs Bag/Drum.

Potassium chloride (KCl) is a metal halide salt composed of potassium and chlorine. In its pure state, it is odorless and has a white or colorless vitreous crystal appearance, with a crystal structure that cleaves easily in three directions. Potassium chloride crystals are face-centered cubic. Potassium chloride was historically known as "muriate of potash".

In chemistry and physics, it is a very commonly used standard, for example as a calibration standard solution in measuring electrical conductivity of (ionic) solutions, since carefully prepared KCl solutions have well-reproducible and well-repeatable measurable properties.

Versatile Applications

Potassium Chloride is a staple in agricultural fertilizers, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment industries. Its pure and fine crystalline form makes it suitable for numerous applications where stable and easily soluble ingredients are essential. Thanks to its non-hazardous nature, its preferred for both industrial and food-related processes.

Safety and Handling

It is considered non-hazardous, making storage and transport straightforward. Theres no need for special transportation regulations, and standard packaging options include both 25 kg and 50 kg bags. Its stable under normal conditions, but should be kept away from strong acids and oxidizers for optimal safety and shelf life.

FAQs of Potassium Chloride:

Q: How is Potassium Chloride typically used in industrial and commercial applications?

A: Potassium Chloride is commonly utilized in fertilizers to promote plant growth, in food processing to regulate sodium content, in pharmaceuticals as an electrolyte replenisher, and in water treatment for softening and purification purposes.

Q: What are the benefits of using Potassium Chloride as a fertilizer component?

A: When used as a fertilizer, Potassium Chloride provides essential potassium nutrients that enhance crop resistance, improve water retention, and boost overall plant health and yield.

Q: When should Potassium Chloride be stored or handled with special precautions?

A: Although generally stable and non-hazardous, Potassium Chloride should be stored in a cool, dry, ventilated place away from incompatible substances such as strong acids and oxidizers to maintain safety and product quality.

Q: Where is Potassium Chloride primarily manufactured and distributed?

A: Potassium Chloride is widely manufactured, exported, and supplied in India, with distributors, suppliers, and traders covering local and international markets.

Q: What is the process for packaging and transporting Potassium Chloride?

A: Potassium Chloride is packaged in standard 25 kg or 50 kg bags. Since it is not regulated as dangerous goods, transportation is straightforward and does not require special handling under normal conditions.

Q: Is Potassium Chloride beneficial for human health?

A: Yes. In controlled amounts, particularly in pharmaceuticals, Potassium Chloride acts as an electrolyte replenisher, supporting essential bodily functions like nerve transmission and fluid balance.
