Product Usage
Fermentation/Preservative (Food grade)
【 Used as a starter. In the making process of bread, cake and other baked goods, potassium carbonate can react with acidic substances to produce carbon dioxide, which makes the dough expand and ferment, thus making the baked goods softer and better taste. 】
【 Used as an acidity regulator. In some foods, such as beverages, juices, etc., the acidity needs to be adjusted to achieve better taste and shelf life. It can neutralize the acid in the food and make it present a suitable acidity. 】
【 Used as a bulking agent. In some puffed foods, such as potato chips, popcorn, etc., potassium carbonate can react with the water in the food to produce carbon dioxide, which makes the food expand and thin, and has a better taste. 】
【Used as a preservative. In some foods, such as sauces, condiments, etc., potassium carbonate can inhibit the growth of microorganisms and extend the shelf life of foods.】
Soil Optimization (Agricultural grade)
After adjusting the pH of the soil, the potassium carbonate buried in the soil is absorbed by the plants, the soil can achieve the pH balance. Applied in acidic soil, the potassium in potassium carbonate is absorbed to form carbonic acid, which is decomposed by heat. It is a very good water soluble fertilizer raw material. After absorption, crops use photosynthesis in the modification process to release carbon dioxide, without the need for calcium carbonate reaction.
Glass/Printing
It is used in the production of optical glass, welding rod, electronic tube, TV picture tube, light bulb, printing and dyeing, dyes, inks, photographic drugs, pholinine, polyester, explosives, electroplating, tanning, ceramics, building materials, crystal, potash soap and drugs
[Glass industry is used in enamel powder preparation to enhance its leveling property, add to glass to play a melting role, and improve glass transparency and refractive coefficient.]
[Dye industry for the manufacture of Yindan tullin, disperse red 3B, VAT ash M, etc.]
[The printing and dyeing industry is used for the printing and dyeing of VAT dyes and the whitening of ice dyes. The rubber industry is used for the manufacture of 4010 antioxidant. The wool and ramie cotton industry is used for cotton cooking and degreasing of wool.]
[ Used as gas adsorbent, dry powder fire extinguishing agent, rubber antioxidant ]
