Potassium chloride (KCl), also known as MOP (Muriate of Potash), Sylvite, or Kaochlor, is one of the most widely traded inorganic salts in global commodity markets. With a molecular weight of 74.55 g/mol and water solubility of 342 g/L at 20°C, it dissolves readily in water and integrates into a wide range of industrial, agricultural, and pharmaceutical processes.
As a potassium chloride supplier based in China, Shenyang Yftdss Trading Co., Ltd. sources and exports KCl to buyers across agriculture, chemical manufacturing, and the pharmaceutical industry. We supply both standard and custom specifications, with packaging tailored to your logistics requirements.

Application
Agriculture — Potash Fertilizer (MOP)
Potassium chloride is the world's most widely used potassium fertilizer, accounting for the majority of global potash consumption. It supplies potassium — one of the three primary macronutrients — to a broad range of crops including cereals, vegetables, fruits, and oil crops. It is applied directly to soil or blended into compound NPK fertilizers. It is also used as a mineral supplement in animal feed formulations to maintain electrolyte balance in livestock.
Chemical Industry — Raw Material for Potassium Compounds
KCl serves as the primary feedstock for the production of potassium hydroxide (KOH), potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃), potassium sulfate (SOP), and a wide range of specialty potassium salts. It is used in industrial electrolysis processes and as a flux in metallurgical applications.
Pharmaceutical & Cosmetics Industry
In pharmaceutical applications, potassium chloride is used as an electrolyte replenisher in the treatment of hypokalemia (potassium deficiency) — administered orally or intravenously. It appears in oral rehydration salts (ORS), IV solutions, and dietary supplements. In cosmetics, it functions as a viscosity agent and skin-conditioning ingredient in formulations.
What grades of potassium chloride do you supply?
We supply potassium chloride suitable for agricultural (fertilizer/MOP), industrial, and pharmaceutical applications. Purity and specification requirements vary by application — contact us with your intended use and target purity, and we will confirm the appropriate grade and provide a COA for review.
What is the minimum order quantity?
MOQ varies depending on destination, packaging, and specification. We welcome both trial orders and full container loads. Contact us with your target quantity and shipping destination for a tailored quote.
What packaging options are available?
Standard packaging is 25kg woven bags or 1000kg jumbo bags, both with PE inner liner. Custom packaging — including bag size, labeling, and pallet configuration — is available on request to meet your market requirements.
Can you provide documentation for import customs clearance?
Yes. We provide full export documentation including commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, Certificate of Origin, MSDS, and COA. Additional certifications required by your country's customs or regulatory authority can be arranged — contact us with your specific requirements.
Is the product suitable for pharmaceutical or food-grade applications?
We can supply potassium chloride to pharmaceutical-grade specifications. If you require food-grade or USP/EP-grade material, specify this during inquiry so we can confirm the appropriate source and provide relevant documentation.
What are the storage and handling requirements?
Potassium chloride should be stored at 2–8°C in a dry environment, protected from moisture. It is hygroscopic and will absorb ambient humidity if left unsealed. It is incompatible with strong oxidants and strong acids. Standard PPE applies for handling in bulk quantities.
Do you supply related inorganic salts?
Yes. Our inorganic salts range includes Magnesium Chloride (anhydrous and hexahydrate), Calcium Chloride (anhydrous and dihydrate), Sodium Bicarbonate, Soda Ash, and Sodium Sulfate, among others. If you are sourcing multiple products, we can consolidate shipments to reduce freight cost.
