Apllication of Potassium Bicarbonate:

Potassium bicarbonate is an odorless, non-combustible, white crystalline powder, stable under normal conditions. It contains no toxic additives and is not listed as a carcinogen or potential carcinogen.

Potassium bicarbonate is a versatile chemical used in many common applications including:

• Fire Extinguisher ingredient
• Agricultural
  • Enhances potassium absorption in soil
  • Reduces the loss of cations in acidic or neutral soil and increases the action of phosphate fertilizer
  • Reduces soil acidity
  • Helps increase potato protein and starch yield
• Feedstock - when used as a nutritional supplement, it helps improve livestock weight gain
• Pharmaceuticals
  • Used as an antiacid, electrolyte replenisher and potassium supplement
  • Used as a leavening agent, pH control agent and a nutrient supplement
  • Used as a processing aid in extruded foods
  • Foaming and fizzing agent in instant beverages
  • Helps preserve food color
• Household odor remover
• High-temperature polymer blowing agent
• De-icer
• Used in hair and skin products

Production method as following:

Potassium bicarbonate can produced by reacting potassium carbonate with carbon dioxide, then recrystalizing it. All equipment used from production to packaging is dedicated solely to potassium bicarbonate
