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
