Potassium Chloride KCl

Description

Potassium chloride is an important inorganic compound that plays an important role in industry, agriculture, medicine, food and other fields. According to different purity and uses, potassium chloride usually has the following grades.

Industrial Grade KCl

Industrial grade KCl is the basic raw material for manufacturing various potassium salts or alkali. Such as potassium hydroxide, potassium sulfate, potassium nitrate, potassium chlorate and potassium red vitriol.

In addition, in the dye industry production, industrial grade potassium chloride can also produce G salt and reactive dyes, providing important raw materials for the textile printing and dyeing industry. And as a heat treatment agent for steel to effectively control temperature and improve metal structure, thereby improving the performance and quality of steel products.

Food Grade KCl

The main areas of use of food-grade KCl are food processing and nutritional supplements. It is a common low-sodium salt substitute. KCl can partially replace NaCl and reduce the sodium content in foods, thereby reducing the risk of high blood pressure. In addition, food-grade potassium chloride is also a nutritional supplement, gelling aid, yeast food, condiment, flavor enhancer and pH control agent. Works in low-sodium products, jellies, condiments, canned foods and convenience foods.

Pharmaceutical Grade KCl

The main areas of action of food grade KCl are food processing and nutritional supplements. It is widely used to treat and prevent hypokalemia caused by various causes, and is also used for frequent premature beats or tachyarrhythmias caused by cardiac and renal edema and poisoning by cardiac glycosides such as digitalis. In addition, it’s also an essential ingredient in hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis to maintain the electrolyte balance in patients.

In short, potassium chloride has diverse uses and wide market demand, and plays an important role in many fields. Different grades of potassium chloride meet the demand for potassium salts in various industries based on their purity and use.
