Packing
Potassium Acetate is supplied in woven lined paper bags.
Storageg andan handlingn
Potassium Acetate is hygroscopic. It should be stored and handled in its original packages or in
Suitable sealed containers and kept in a clean dry place.
Under normal conditions of use potassium Acetate does not present any undue health hazard.
Precautions should be taken to prevent entry into eyes and prolonged or repeated skin contact.
Exposure to the dust at high concentrations should be prevented by the provision of suitable ventilation.
First ai
Eye contact: in event of eye contact occurring, immediately irrigate with copious quantities of clean water,
holding the eye open if necessary. Obtain medical attention.
Skin contact: Wash with water. Remove contaminated clothing, which should be washed before reuse.
Ingestion: Wash out mouth with water. Obtain medical attention.
Fire hazard
Potassium Acetate presents little fire hazard.
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.
