General industry

General Industry covers a broad range of products that are used in different industries.

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
