1. Pharmaceuticals

• pH Buffer in Formulations : Used to stabilize the pH of injectable drugs and IV solutions, improving drug stability and patient safety.
•  Electrolyte Replenisher : Acts as a potassium supplement in intravenous (IV) fluids to correct hypokalemia (low potassium levels) in patients.
•  Excipient in Drug Manufacturing : Serves as a non-reactive filler or stabilizer, helping maintain the physical integrity and solubility of tablets and capsules.

2. Food & Healthcare Ingredients

• Acidity Regulator and Preservative : Listed as E261, it controls acidity levels in processed foods, thereby enhancing shelf life and microbial stability.
• Sodium-Free Salt Substitute : Used in low-sodium dietary products as an alternative to sodium salts for people with hypertension or heart disease.
• Flavor Enhancer and Stabilizer : Helps retain flavor integrity in meat, sauces, and dairy products, and improves emulsion stability.

3. Construction

• Environment-Friendly Deicer : Replaces calcium chloride or sodium chloride on roads and airport runways; it melts ice effectively while being less corrosive to metal and concrete.
• Runway and Tarmac Protection : Extensively used at airports because it does not damage aircraft aluminum or sensors, ensuring aviation safety during snow.
• Anti-Icing Agent : Applied before snowfall to prevent ice formation on surfaces, reducing the need for reactive deicing later.

4. Performance Chemicals

• Catalyst and Buffer in Organic Synthesis: Functions as a catalyst or buffering agent in esterification, acetylation, and polymerization reactions.
• Precursor for Other Potassium Compounds : Used to produce other potassium-based salts or reagents, often required in specialty chemical synthesis.
• Fire Extinguishing Agent: Component of liquid-based Class K fire suppressants for kitchen grease fires, as it reacts to cool and smother flames.

5. Fabric Solutions

• Dye Fixative : Acts as a mild alkaline buffer that stabilizes dyeing solutions and promotes even dye penetration in fabrics.
• Mordant in Reactive Dye Processes : Assists in fixing dyes to cellulose fibers like cotton, ensuring vibrant and long-lasting colorfastness.

6. Agrochemicals

• Foliar Fertilizer Additive: Supplies potassium to plants in foliar sprays, aiding in enzyme activation, water regulation, and yield enhancement.
• Soil Conditioner and pH Buffer: Used to adjust soil pH and improve nutrient availability in certain agricultural soils.
• Biostimulant Component: Included in biostimulant blends to enhance plant stress resistance and metabolic activity.
