Potassium Carbonate (K₂CO₃)

Product Description
Potassium carbonate is an inorganic alkaline salt, solid, odorless, and white in appearance, available in crystalline or powdered form. It is highly soluble in water, forming a strong alkaline solution. Chemically, K₂CO₃ is the potassium salt of carbonic acid and is widely used as an effective source of potassium across various industries.

Due to its hygroscopic nature, high reactivity with acids, and chemical stability, potassium carbonate plays a key role in many industrial processes.
