Chemical name:

Potassium Acetate

Molecular formula:

C2H3KO2

Molecular weight:

98.14

CAS NO:

127-08-2

Character:

It is white crystalline powder. It is deliquescent and tastes salty. Relative density is 1.570. Melting point is 292ºC. Highly soluble in water, ethanol and carbinol, but insoluble in aether.

Usage:

1.De-icing and Anti-freezing

Airport Runways and Highways: Potassium acetate is widely used as a de-icing agent for airport runways and highways. It lowers the freezing point of water, effectively melting ice and snow. Unlike traditional de-icing salts (e.g., sodium chloride), potassium acetate is less corrosive to metals and concrete, making it a more environmentally friendly option.
Industrial Equipment: It is also used in anti-freeze solutions for industrial machinery to ensure proper functioning in cold temperatures.

2 Catalyst in Chemical Synthesis

Polyurethane Foam Production: Potassium acetate acts as a catalyst in the production of polyurethane foams, which are used in insulation, cushioning, and automotive applications.
Carbon Black Manufacturing: It is employed as a catalyst in the production of carbon black, a key ingredient in rubber products and inks.
pH Buffering: In chemical reactions, potassium acetate helps maintain a stable pH, ensuring consistent reaction conditions.
3 Food Industry
pH Regulator and Preservative: In food processing, potassium acetate is used to regulate the pH of food products, helping to maintain their stability and extend shelf life. It also acts as a preservative by inhibiting the growth of spoilage microorganisms.
Flavor Enhancement: It can enhance the flavor profile of certain foods by providing a mild, tangy taste.

4. Agriculture

Fertilizer: Potassium acetate can be used as a source of potassium in fertilizers, promoting plant growth and development.
Soil Health: It is beneficial for soil microorganisms, contributing to improved soil health and fertility.

5. Other Applications

Paper and Textile Industries: As a softening agent, potassium acetate improves the texture of paper and textiles.
Glass Manufacturing: It is used in the glass industry to enhance the chemical properties of glass products.
Firefighting: Potassium acetate is a component in some fire extinguishing agents, particularly effective for grease fires.
 

Packaging:

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.
