Description 

Potassium Chloride (KCl) is used extensively by the pharmaceutical and food industries to provide a number of functional benefits including sodium reduction and nutrient replacement. It is also used as a reagent in laboratory testing, as a reducing agent in the high purity metals industry, in the production of photographic film and in buffering solutions.  Based on the application, we offer products that vary according to particle size, screen analysis, and moisture content.

Potassium Chloride is a white crystalline or colorless granular material. It is odorless, stable in air and highly soluble in water. In addition to USP- and FCC-certified grades, we also offer those with BP, EP and JP certifications.  Special grades include those that resist caking (Nutri-K™) and separation in blends with sodium chloride (Na-K™), as well as those for microencapsulation.

All grades available in: 250-lb. fiber drums; 50-lb. bags; and 100-lb. and 50- or 100-kg drums. Customized products and non-standard packaging options are also available.
