Potassium Acetate Market Intelligence Report Offers Growth Prospects
Posted: Jun 07, 2017
Potassium acetate also denoted as KCH3COO is the potassium salt of acetic acid. Potassium acetate is white deliquescent crystalline powder. The compound is soluble in alcohol, liquid, and ammonia. The industrial production of potassium acetate includes treatment of bicarbonate and potassium carbonate with glacial acetic acid followed by heating the compound at an ambient temperature and 100C.
It is an acetate salt form of potassium and an essential micromineral. Potassium maintains intracellular tonicity, which is required for nerve conduction, smooth muscle, and skeletal contraction, production of energy, maintaining the blood pressure and normal renal function. The compound has potential antihypertensive effects and prevents hypokalemia when consumed as the nutritional supplement. Potassium acetate has various end uses, one of them being industry usages such as agricultural chemicals, anti-adhesive agents, working fluids, intermediates, and processing aids. Under consumer usage, the compound is used for farm products, anti-freeze and de-icing products, and construction/building materials not covered elsewhere.

Global Potassium Acetate Market: Drivers and Restraints
The major factor driving the global potassium acetate market is that the compound is being used as an alternative to potassium chloride owing to the environmental restrictions on the application of potassium chloride. Potassium acetates functionality properties are identical to the later. Potassium acetate is more time soluble than potassium chloride and has a high potential usage in the high-density brines. Few other factor includes it provides a chloride free fluid; it is ideal for use in environmentally sensitive areas, and also provides shale hydration and swelling inhibition through cation exchange and electrolytic balance.
However, the significant restraint in the global potassium acetate market is the side effects of the compound when not used in an appropriate composition. Few of the common symptoms of the potassium intoxication are burning sensation and tingling in the hands and feet’s, amongst others.
