- Product Description
Fertilizer Solid Potassium Acetate — High-Purity Chloride-Free Potassium Fertilizer for Premium Crop Nutrition
Fertilizer Solid Potassium Acetate (CAS No. 127-08-2) from Shanxi Zhaoyi Chemical Co., Ltd. is a high-purity, chloride-free potassium source engineered for modern agriculture. It has a potassium concentration of ≥50% and a purity of ≥98% . It may be absorbed by crops more efficiently than conventional potassium fertilisers, with absorption efficiency up to 30% greater. Each batch is agronomic grade. It is manufactured at a 27,000 m² factory with a capacity of 150,000 tonnes per year. In its white crystalline form it is entirely soluble in water and provides few residues making it excellent for fertigation, foliar application and liquid fertiliser manufacturing.
What Is Potassium Acetate as a Potassium Fertilizer?
Potassium acetate (CH3COOK) is a potassium hybrid molecule with molecular weight of 98.14. It does not contain chloride ion unlike potassium chloride or potassium sulphate hence is perfect for chlorine sensitive crops.
Potassium fertiliser supplies osmotic control and the acetate anion, a swiftly used carbon source. It is effective under stress, when there is a requirement for rapid absorption of nitrogen for crops.
It is distinguished from other sources of potassium in that clear, stable solutions are obtained at high concentrations in water, acid and alcohol.

Key Product Features
High Purity, High Potassium Yield
It is a source of concentrated potassium in all applications. Purity ≥98%, potassium content ≥50%. Crop absorption efficiency is said to be 30% greater than conventional potassium fertilisers – meaning less product provides comparable or improved agronomic outcomes.
Chlorine Free Absolutely
There are no chloride ions. Hence, it is the option for chloride sensitive crops including citrus, tea, tobacco, grapes, Strawberries and green vegetables. It does not accumulate chloride in the soil over time, preserving the health of the soil and root systems.
Total water solubility - nil residue
All the granules are fully soluble in water . It does not leave a residue that will block drip emitters, spray nozzles or irrigation systems. This translates immediately into cheaper maintenance costs and higher reliability of fertigation performance.
Consistent Particle Size, Batch-to-Batch
Controlled manufacture provides homogeneity in crystal size and stability in physical qualities. You receive regular, predictable fertilisation outcomes, batch after batch, and uniform dissolution rates, which is vital in large-scale or precision agricultural operations.
Great Compatibility
It is compatible with the nitrogen and phosphorus fertiliser components. This makes it a suitable basic material for compounded NPK fertilisers, foliar sprays and liquid fertiliser formulations.
Application Scenarios
Production of concentrated liquid fertilisers
The product has outstanding solubility and is thus an ideal raw material for the formulation of clear, high analysis liquid NPK fertilisers, e.g. 3-18-18 blends, where older sources of potassium would precipitate out or salt out at low temperatures. This allows formulators to create cold-stable, supersaturated blends for cold-climate markets.
Foliar Spray for Crop Stress Management
When there are cold snaps or dry spells nitrogen absorption by roots slows down considerably. Application of potassium acetate fertiliser to foliage of wheat, maize and stone fruits enables rapid delivery of potassium to leaf surfaces. Its low molecular weight allows it to quickly penetrate through the waxy cuticle, controlling stomatal closure and causing an increase in cell turgor. It is also an efficient natural anti-freeze agent at the crop level.
Drip irrigation on saline or high EC soils
This chloride-free potassium fertiliser will not add to the chloride or sulphate burden on the soil electrical conductivity (EC) for greenhouse tomato and pepper growers. It safeguards roots from ion toxicity, lessens nutrient lock out and promotes healthy absorption in severe development settings.
Speciality Crops That Require Chloride-Free Nutrition
Chloride free potassium is excellent for citrus, tea, tobacco, fruit plants and vegetables. Potassium acetate may be used as a potassium fertiliser for these crops without the yield decrease and leaf burn typical with potassium fertilisers containing chloride.

FAQ
Q: Will the potassium be the same from batch to batch?
A: Yeah. Batch Testing: Each batch is tested for ≥98% purity and ≥50% potassium content before to shipping. A COA with complete analytical data to verify compliance with specifications is sent with each order.
Q: Does this product have safety with chloride sensitive crops such as citrus and tea?
A: Definitely. Chloride ion content is nil. It is particularly recommended for chloride sensitive crops such as citrus, tea, tobacco and grapes and offers a true chloride free alternative to potassium fertiliser.
Q: How does long term usage change soil pH or induce compaction?
A: No. Potassium acetate improves the structure of the soil over time compared to certain standard potassium sources. It is biodegradable and does not contribute to soil acidity or compaction when applied consistently under agronomic conditions.
Q: How long should I anticipate shipping to take for large orders?
A: Our standard wait time for manufacturing is about 5-7 working days. Dispatch of in-stock products may be made within 24 hours. Answers questions in 2 hour.
Q: Is there a third party to check and certify the product?
A: Yes. Third-party testing is completely supported. The firm is ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certified and can offer COA, MSDS and other compliance papers.
Q: Can potassium acetate be used with other fertiliser ingredients?
A: Yes. It has a very good compatibility with nitrogen and phosphorus compounds and is used extensively as a base material for liquid NPK formulations, foliar sprays and compound fertiliser solutions.Contact Us
