Potassium Carbonate Solution (20%–50% customizable)

Different purities and concentrations can be provided according to customer requirements.

3. What are the main applications of potassium carbonate?

Potassium carbonate is widely used in:

High-quality optical and everyday glass

Soap and detergent manufacturing

Food industry (pH adjuster, leavening agent)

Agricultural chemicals

Catalyst carrier

Electroplating and metal treatment

4. Does the product meet international quality standards? All batches can be provided with:

COA (Analysis Report)

MSDS (Safety Data Sheet)

REACH / ISO / SGS Test Report (if required)

5. Is potassium carbonate hygroscopic? How to ensure safe transportation?

Potassium carbonate is a highly hygroscopic substance.

Packaging uses double-layer plastic inner bags + moisture-proof woven bags (25kg/bag) or IBC liquid drums to ensure it is not exposed to moisture during transportation.
