Potassium Derivatives
General Industry
General Industry covers a broad range of products that are used in different industries. The presence of Potassium Derivatives may not always be obvious, but here too, they play their role:
- Deicing of airport runways, providing safe travel also in winter time, is done mostly with potassium formate in Europe
- Potassium silicate produced from KOH and K2CO3 acts as a binder and a fluxing agent in welding rods
- Potassium phosphates produced from KOH are used in a.o. the textile industry, metal surface treatment, paper processing and water treatment
- In specialty glass, K2CO3 provides improved properties of greater electrical resistivity, higher refraction index, greater brilliance, lower softening point and a wide temperature working range
