Potassium nitrate is a very versatile product with a wide range of applications. It is often used as a fertilizer in agriculture because it provides plants with two essential nutrients: potassium and nitrogen. It can also be used as an ingredient in detergents, as an electrolyte in electroplating and in 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.

Potassium nitrate or KNO3 is an oxidizer and must be separated from highly reducing substances, such as metal powders, to avoid fire or explosion hazards. Our KNO3 is of high purity, with a purity level of over 99%. It comes in strong plastic sealed containers that are safe for transportation and storage. Whether you use it for farming, cleaning, electroplating or stump removal, you can be confident that DutchChems’ products are of the highest quality and purity.
