Potassium Chloride

Potassium chloride is an inorganic potassium salt, supplied by Nustras as a white crystalline powder and a widely used source of the mineral potassium for supplements, electrolyte formulations and food applications. Known in trade as KCl or muriate of potash, it is highly soluble in water. Potassium is an essential mineral and the principal cation of intracellular fluid.

It is formulated into mineral supplements in tablet, capsule and powder form, electrolyte and sports-drink powders, mineral premixes and fortified foods. In food manufacturing it serves as a salt substitute, a firming agent and a yeast nutrient.

The material is a white, odourless crystalline powder; CAS number 7447-40-7, molecular weight 74.55. Identity and potassium content are confirmed by titration and standard identification tests, and the material is standardised to specification. Heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies potassium chloride in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and sealed packaging, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Potassium chloride is an accepted food additive and supplement mineral source in major markets; buyers confirm the elemental-potassium contribution, grade and permitted level for their application.
