Potassium Chloride KCI, 98%

Potassium Chloride (KCl) – Versatile Grades for Industrial Use

Potassium Chloride, or KCl as it’s more formally known, is one of those quietly powerful substances that industries can’t do without. It comes in several purity levels, including a particularly refined 98% grade. At Pascom, we supply potassium chloride to businesses all over Australia — whether it’s for use in fertilisers, pharmaceuticals, water treatment, or even food processing. It’s surprisingly versatile once you start looking into it.

🔍 So, What Exactly Is Potassium Chloride?

Well, in basic terms, Potassium Chloride is an inorganic salt. Chemically, it goes by KCl. It’s usually a white or colourless crystal and, fun fact — it dissolves really well in water. If you’ve ever heard of “muriate of potash” in the context of farming, that’s essentially KCl too. No strong smell, a very salty taste, and it naturally shows up as the mineral sylvite.

What makes it so valuable? Mostly, it’s the potassium content — which is pretty high — and the fact that it mixes easily into water. That makes it ideal for both solid applications and liquid solutions across different industries.

📊 Purity Grades We Offer

🧪 Potassium Chloride 98%

This is the high-end stuff. With a 98% purity, it’s used where precision and cleanliness really matter — pharmaceutical production, intravenous saline solutions, or laboratory-grade mixtures, just to name a few.

• Appearance: White crystalline solid

• Solubility: Very water-soluble

• Used In: IV potassium supplements, lab buffers, and high-spec research environments

Basically, if there’s no room for impurities, this is the grade you want.

🧪 General-Grade Potassium Chloride

Now, if you’re not working in a cleanroom or prepping something for human injection, this general-grade version does the job nicely. It’s industrial-grade, cost-effective, and very practical.

• Agriculture: A major ingredient in many fertiliser blends

• Water Softening: Used during resin regeneration

• Food Use: Occasionally used as a salt substitute — but only when food-grade certified

It may not be glamorous, but it gets things done.

🏭 Key Industrial Uses & Benefits

• Fertiliser: Vital potassium source for healthy crop growth

• Pharma: Used in a variety of medical formulations

• Water Treatment: Helps with ion exchange systems

• Food-Grade Applications: Think salt substitutes or curing agents (with proper certification, of course)

It’s dependable, dissolves easily, and mixes well with other compounds. Nothing too fussy.
