Wholesale Potassium Acetate (CAS 127-08-2) You Need to Know

In the fast-paced global market, finding a reliable potassium acetate supplier that balances quality, compliance, and flexibility is critical for your business success. Tree Chemical (Chengdu) Co., Ltd. is a leading manufacturer of Potassium Acetate (CAS 127-08-2, also known as KAc), delivering high-purity, consistent-performance products to distributors, manufacturers, and R&D teams across Europe, North America, Southeast Asia, and beyond. Whether you need food-grade additives, pharmaceutical-grade electrolytes, or industrial-grade catalysts, our potassium acetate meets international standards and adapts to your unique requirements.

The Foundation of Reliable Performance

Potassium Acetate (molecular formula: CH₃COOK; molecular weight: 98.14) is a white crystalline powder with excellent solubility and mild alkalinity – the ideal combination for diverse industrial and specialty applications. Our product stands out with strict quality control:

• Purity Assurance: 99.0–100.5% assay (dried substance), ensuring minimal impurities for consistent results.
• Key Specifications: pH 7.5–8.5 (5% solution, 25°C); loss on drying ≤1.0%; heavy metals (as Pb) ≤0.002%; arsenic (As) ≤0.0003%.
• Physical Traits: Hygroscopic, fully water-soluble, and compatible with most organic/inorganic materials – easy to integrate into your production processes.

Manufactured via precision neutralization of acetic acid with potassium carbonate/hydroxide, followed by controlled crystallization and drying, our KAc guarantees low moisture content and stable physical properties batch after batch.

Potassium Acetate Applications: Powering Diverse Industries Worldwide

Food Processing

– Acidity regulator for baked goods (0.1–0.3% of flour weight) to improve crumb softness.

– Preservative in sausages/hams (0.2–0.5%) to inhibit bacteria and extend shelf life.

– Nutrient fortifier in low-sodium foods, replacing sodium while maintaining taste.

Pharmaceuticals

– pH buffer in injections (0.05–0.2 M) to stabilize active ingredients (pH 4.5–5.5).

– Electrolyte supplement for hypokalemia treatment (20–100 mEq/day dosage).

– Acylating reagent in steroid hormone and penicillin synthesis.

Agriculture

– Chloride-free potassium fertilizer (0.2–0.5% foliar spray) for grapes, citrus, and tobacco.

– Soil conditioner to neutralize acidity and reduce heavy metal bioavailability.

– Co-solvent/stabilizer in pesticide formulations (0.1–2%).

Chemical & Materials

– Catalyst for polyurethane foam, PET polyester, and aldol condensation reactions.

– Corrosion inhibitor in cooling water systems (50–200 ppm) and electroplating baths.

– Dispersant in dye/pigment production for uniform coloration.

Other Sectors

– Eco-friendly de-icer (40% KAc formulation) with freezing point down to –30°C, low corrosion to metals/vegetation.

– Battery electrolyte additive (0.1–2%) to enhance ionic conductivity and cycle stability.

– Tobacco processing additive (0.1–0.5%) to improve combustion and smoke smoothness.

Storage & Handling: Ensure Product Integrity

To maintain optimal performance, follow these guidelines:

• Store in a dry, well-ventilated area below 30°C, away from moisture, direct sunlight, and strong acids.
• Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent caking or contamination.
• Use protective gloves, goggles, and masks when handling solid powder; avoid inhalation of dust.
