Potassium Acetate

Potassium Acetate, E261, CAS no.127-08-2, a potassium salt of acetic acid, white crystal powder. Potassium Acetate manufacturing process via chemical synthesis, potassium hydroxide or potassium carbonate and acetic acid as raw materials. Potassium Acetate is used as a food preservative and acidity regulator to help prevent bacterial growth. It is better than Sodium Acetate to avoid Sodium. Also used as a deicer instead of chloride salts such as calcium chloride or magnesium chloride.

As an experienced Potassium Acetate manufacturer and supplier, we has been supplying and exporting Potassium Acetate for almost 10 years, please be assured to buy from us. Any inquiries about price and the market trend please feel free to contact us, we will reply you within 1 working day.

Potassium acetate
Potassium acetate is an organic substance with the chemical formula of CH3COOK, white powder, used as an analytical reagent to adjust the PH value. It can also be used as a desiccant, to make transparent glass, and in the pharmaceutical industry. It can also be used as buffer, diuretic, fabric and paper softener, catalyst, etc.

Application
Potassium Acetate It is used for the manufacture of antibiotics,potassium penicillinate, and in solutions for haemodialysis and peritoneal
dialysis.In addition it can be used as a textile conditioner, a polymerization catalyst and as a catalyst in the production of
polyurethane foams and carbon black. It is also used as a dehydrafting agent, as runway deicing fluid ordrilling fluid additive.

Product Description
Deicing

Potassium acetate can be used as a deicer to remove ice and prevent its formation. It is a substitute for chloride salts such as calcium chloride or magnesium chloride in deicing applications. It offers the advantage of being less aggressive on soils and much less corrosive, and for this reason is preferred for airport runways. It is, however, more expensive.

Fire extinguishing

Potassium acetate is the extinguishing agent used in Class K fire extinguishers because of its ability to cool and form a crust over burning oils.

Food additive

Potassium acetate is used as a food additive as a preservative and acidity regulator. In the European Union, it is labeled by the E number E261;[5] it is also approved for usage in the USA[6] and Australia and New Zealand.[7] Potassium hydrogen diacetate (CAS #4251-29-0 ) with formula KH(OOCCH3)2 is a related food additive with the same E number as potassium acetate.

Packing: It is packed with polythene bag as inner layer and polywoven bag as the outer layer. The net weight of each bag is 25kg.

Storage and Transport: It should be stored in a dry, clean and ventilative warehouse; and kept away from water and moisture during transport, unloaded with care so as to avoid damage to bags. Be cautious to keep away from moisture and hot.
