Potassium Bicarbonate (Potassium Hydrogen Carbonate)

Product Description:Potassium Bicarbonate (Potassium Hydrogen Carbonate)

Potassium Bicarbonate (KHCO₃), also known as Potassium Hydrogen Carbonate, is a white crystalline powder commonly used as a mild alkaline salt and buffering agent. It is non-toxic, odorless, and soluble in water, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in pharmaceuticals, food processing, laboratories, and agriculture.
Due to its neutralizing and stabilizing properties, potassium bicarbonate is often used as a leavening agent, pH regulator, and fire-suppression compound.
