Potassium is primarily obtained in the form of potash through mining. Its extensive deposits are the remains of fossil seas from millions of years ago. Potassium is of exceptional physiological significance. In the transmission of signals through the nervous system, and for muscle contraction it plays a major role. In particular, for the contraction of the heart muscle Potassium is indispensable.
A sufficient dietary intake of Potassium indirectly helps to maintain strong and healthy bones. Here, organic Potassium Salts act as vital buffer, preventing bone degradation caused by metabolic acids.
The regulation of blood pressure is another effect of Potassium that is vital to life. Studies show that a slightly increased uptake of Potassium has a positive effect on blood pressure and therefore reduces the risk of a stroke.
Many types of fruit contain Potassium Salts. Nutritional supplements containing Potassium, or potassium-enriched foods are another important means of ensuring a diet rich in Potassium.
As a manufacturer of Potassium Salts, we offer suitable products for a broad range of applications. For pharmaceutical and medicinal purposes, we produce in accordance with various pharmacopoeias, and offer also low-endotoxin grades.
Our Potassium Salts are also available in different food grades. Together with our customers, we work to find solutions in the design of an end product and the realization of new product concepts.
Besides above mentioned applications, our Potassium Salts are, for example, also used in cosmetics as pain inhibitors in oral care products.
In industrial applications, our Potassium compounds are used for metal stabilization, as complexing agents, pH-buffer and conductivity enhancer in electroplating. Furthermore, Potassium Salts are used as heat transfer fluid for very low temperature ranges and for the production of polyurethane insulating foams are further applications. Potassium Salts are also used for fire safety applications acting as fire extinguishing and cooling agents.
