Potassium chloride (also known as Sylvite, KCl, or potassium salt) is a metal halide salt composed of potassium and chlorine. It is odorless and has a white or colorless vitreous crystal appearance. The solid dissolves readily in water, and its solutions have a salt-like taste. Potassium chloride can be obtained from ancient dried lake deposits. KCl is used as a fertilizer, in medicine, in scientific applications, and in food processing, where it may be known as E number additive E508.

The majority of the potassium chloride produced is used for making fertilizer, called potash since the growth of many plants is limited by potassium availability. 

As a chemical feedstock, it is used for the manufacture of potassium hydroxide and potassium metal. It is also used in medicine, lethal injections, scientific applications, food processing, soaps, and as a sodium-free substitute for table salt for people concerned about the health effects of sodium.

It is used as a supplement in animal feed to boost the number of nutrients in the feed, which in turn promotes healthy growth in animals. As an added benefit, it is known to increase milk production.

It is sometimes used in water as a completion fluid in petroleum and natural gas operations, as well as being an alternative to sodium chloride in household water softener units.

Glass manufacturers use granular potash as a flux, lowering the temperature at which a mixture melts. Because potash confers excellent clarity to glass, it is commonly used in eyeglasses, glassware, televisions, and computer monitors.

Uses of Potassium Chloride

Potassium chloride has a wide range of medical and industrial applications. It is also an integral part of fertilizer production. Some important uses of KCl are listed below.

Potassium chloride is used in the manufacture of potash, an important form of fertilizer that enriches soils with potassium which promotes the growth of plant life. Potassium availability is usually the key inhibitor for plant growth. Potassium chloride, acting as a source of potassium, can increase the availability of potassium in the soil.
The potash fertilizers made from KCl (called Muriate of Potash, or MOP) make up the majority of potash fertilizers sold worldwide.
The medical treatment of low blood pressure commonly employs potassium chloride as a part of the medication.

KCl is used as a salt substitute in food where a low concentration of sodium in the salt is desired in order to reduce the risk of high blood pressure.

Potassium chloride is one of the important raw materials required in the manufacture of potassium metal.

The metal halide salt KCl is also used in the manufacture of soaps. Water softening units can involve the use of potassium chloride as an alternative to sodium chloride as well.

The use of potassium chloride as a source of beta radiation is extremely useful in calibrating radiation monitoring equipment.
The flux required in the oxy-fuel welding of aluminium consists of potassium chloride along with the chloride salts of lithium and sodium.
