What is Potassium Nitrate?

Potassium nitrate is a white crystalline powder with extensive applications in agriculture and various industries.

In addition, potassium nitrate finds its way into various other applications, including as a component in cleaning agents, as an electrolyte in galvanization processes and as a means of removing tree stumps.

Also known as KNO3 or saltpetre, the product is the potassium salt of nitric acid. It occurs as a white crystal powder that is highly soluble in water. The pure form does not occur in large quantities in nature and is usually obtained by processing natural minerals or by synthesis from other chemicals.
