Potassium Acetate

Potassium Acetate, E261, CAS no.127-08-2, a potassium salt of acetic acid, white crystal powder. Potassium Acetate manufacturing process via chemical synthesis, potassium hydroxide or potassium carbonate and acetic acid as raw materials. Potassium Acetate is used as a food preservative and acidity regulator to help prevent bacterial growth. It is better than Sodium Acetate to avoid Sodium. Also used as a deicer instead of chloride salts such as calcium chloride or magnesium chloride.

Product Description Deicing Potassium acetate can be used as a deicer to remove ice and prevent its formation. It is a substitute for chloride salts such as calcium chloride or magnesium chloride in deicing applications. It offers the advantage of being less aggressive on soils and much less corrosive, and for this reason is preferred for airport runways. It is, however, more expensive. Fire extinguishing Potassium acetate is the extinguishing agent used in Class K fire extinguishers because of its ability to cool and form a crust over burning oils. Food additive Potassium acetate is used as a food additive as a preservative and acidity regulator. In the European Union, it is labeled by the E number E261;[5] it is also approved for usage in the USA[6] and Australia and New Zealand.[7] Potassium hydrogen diacetate (CAS #4251-29-0 ) with formula KH(OOCCH3)2 is a related food additive with the same E number as potassium acetate. Packing: It is packed with polythene bag as inner layer and polywoven bag as the outer layer. The net weight of each bag is 25kg. Storage and Transport: It should be stored in a dry, clean and ventilative warehouse; and kept away from water and moisture during transport, unloaded with care so as to avoid damage to bags. Be cautious to keep away from moisture and hot.
