Potassium acetate is a hygroscopic material used as a base in organic synthesis. It can also be used as a buffer solvent and a neutralizer.

Application

Deicing

Potassium acetate (as a substitute for calcium chloride or magnesium chloride) can be used as a deicer to remove ice or prevent its formation. It offers the advantage of being less aggressive on soils and much less corrosive:for this reason, it is preferred for airport runways

Fire extinguishing

Potassium acetate is the extinguishing agent used in Class K fire extinguishers because of its ability to cool and form a crust over burning oils.

Food additive

Potassium acetate is used in processed foods as a preservative and acidity regulator.

Medicine and biochemistry

In medicine, potassium acetate is used as part of electrolyte replacement protocols in the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis because of its ability to break down to bicarbonate to help neutralize the acidotic state.

In molecular biology, potassium acetate is used to precipitate Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and SDS-bound proteins to allow their removal from DNA.

Potassium acetate is used in mixtures applied for tissue preservation, fixation, and mummification.

Industry

DEG (diethylene glycol) was used as the catalyst for glycolysis of hard polyamines.
