Potassium Chloride

Potassium Chloride FCC/USP Grade CAS: 7447-40-7 | M.F: KCl | MW: 74.55, Buy now for Reproducible and reliable results from ChemieR Inorganic Reagent.

Potassium Chloride FCC/USP is a substance that can be found in the form of white or colorless crystals, granules, or powder. It has a strong saline taste and its chemical formula is KCl. This compound is odorless, remains stable in air, and is highly soluble in water. Potassium chloride is classified as a metal halide salt, composed of potassium and chlorine. It is produced in large quantities by extracting it from potash ores and salt-containing surface waters. Another method of obtaining potassium chloride is through a neutralization reaction between potassium hydroxide and HCl. Approximately 5% of its global production is used as an industrial chemical, primarily for the manufacturing of potassium hydroxide and chlorine through electrolysis. Potassium Chloride USP/FCC, also known as KCL or K-Chloride, is a purified grade of potassium chloride. This grade adheres to specific purity and quality standards suitable for pharmaceutical labs and food related applications, as defined by the United States Pharmacopeia/Food Chemicals Codex.

Application :

• Potassium Chloride, Crystal, FCC is used as a flavor enhancer, flavoring agent, nutrient supplement, pH control agent, and stabilizer or thickener.
• It may be used in the preparation of potassium hydroxide, potassium carbonate and other potassium slats.
• It may be used in the calorimetric determination of enthalpy and heat capacity values during the deprotonation (loss of proton H+) of buffers. From these values temperature dependence of the pH of these buffers was calculated.

Benefits :

• Meet the toughest regulatory standards for quality and purity
• Gives reliable and consistent results
• Used as a water softner
