Application
Potassium Acetate is used for the manufacture of antibiotics, potassium penicillinate, and in solutions for haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. In addition it can be used as a textile conditioner, a polymerization catalyst and as a catalyst in the production of polyurethane foams and carbon black. It is also used as a dehydrating agent, as runway de-icing fluid or drilling fluid additive.
