What Is Potassium Chloride (KCl)?
Potassium chloride — chemical formula KCl, CAS number 7447-40-7 — is a white-to-colorless crystalline salt of potassium and chlorine, also known as muriate of potash (MOP) or potassium salt. It is odorless, highly soluble in water, and dissociates into potassium (K⁺) and chloride (Cl⁻) ions, making it the most economical and widely used source of potassium across industry. Extracted from the minerals sylvite and carnallite, KCl is irreplaceable in fertilizers, oilfield drilling fluids, food, pharmaceuticals and chemical manufacturing.
As a dedicated Potassium Chloride Supplier operating from Turkey and the UAE, SUHA International has built deep expertise in grade selection, purity guarantees and bulk export logistics that high-volume buyers demand. We match the correct KCl grade to your exact application — fertilizer, drilling mud, food, pharma or technical — and ship under full documentation control, so your operation never faces a quality surprise at customs clearance.
📊 Market Insight (2026): Global potash supply is concentrated in just a few origins — Canada, Russia, Belarus and China — which has historically driven sharp price and availability swings for buyers. High-volume importers in Africa, Asia and the Middle East are increasingly consolidating their potassium chloride procurement around agile dual-origin exporters to secure consistent supply and shorter lead times, rather than relying on a single mining corridor.

Where Is Potassium Chloride Used?
Understanding your process is central to how we serve buyers as a Potassium Chloride Supplier. KCl, muriate of potash and potassium salt all refer to the same compound across global trade. Below are the primary industries we serve and the complementary chemicals from our portfolio that complete each process.
Agriculture & Fertilizer
As muriate of potash (≈60% K₂O), KCl is the world's most-used potassium fertilizer — strengthening crops, improving water retention and lifting yield for wheat, corn, rice and sugarcane. Often supplied alongside Urea and Ammonium Sulfate for blended NPK programs.
Oil & Gas Drilling
Drilling-grade KCl is a critical shale inhibitor in water-based muds: potassium ions exchange into reactive clays, cutting swelling and preventing wellbore collapse, bit balling and stuck pipe. Often run with Caustic Soda Flakes for mud pH and balance.
Pharmaceutical
Pharma-grade KCl restores potassium in patients with hypokalemia, supporting heart rhythm, muscle and nerve function. Supplied for IV solutions and oral electrolyte supplements under USP/BP/EP documentation.
Food & Beverage
As additive E508, food-grade KCl is the leading low-sodium salt substitute and anticaking agent, letting brands cut sodium while preserving taste and texture in reduced-salt formulations.
Water Treatment
A sodium-free alternative to common salt, KCl regenerates water-softening systems for households and industry — preferred where sodium discharge or sodium-restricted water is a concern.
Chemical Manufacturing
KCl is the feedstock for potassium hydroxide (KOH), potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃) and other potassium chemicals, and serves as a flux in metal processing and a raw material in dyes and specialty chemistry. Pairs with our Soda Ash and Calcium Chloride lines.

FAQ — Potassium Chloride Supplier
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for potassium chloride?
Standard MOQ is one 20-ft container (FCL), approx. 25 metric tons. For regular buyers with monthly volumes of 5–20 FCL we offer preferential long-term pricing and dedicated freight planning. Trial quantities may be considered for new buyers in select markets.
What grades and purity of KCl do you supply?
We supply fertilizer grade (≈60% K₂O / muriate of potash), food grade (E508, ≥99% KCl), pharmaceutical grade (USP/BP/EP), and technical/drilling grade (98–99.5% KCl), in powder, granular or crystalline form. Every batch ships with a COA confirming purity, K₂O, moisture and particle size.
What is the CAS number and HS Code for potassium chloride?
The CAS number for potassium chloride (KCl) is 7447-40-7. The HS Code is 3104.20 for fertilizer-grade muriate of potash and 2827.39 for other KCl grades. We handle all export customs documentation from Turkey and UAE using the correct classification.
Why is KCl used in oil and gas drilling fluids?
In water-based drilling muds, potassium chloride stabilizes reactive shale: potassium ions exchange into the clay structure, reducing swelling and preventing wellbore collapse, bit balling and stuck pipe. Drilling-grade KCl at 98–99.5% purity is preferred for both onshore and offshore operations.
What documents do you provide with potassium chloride shipments?
Every shipment includes a Certificate of Analysis (COA), SDS/MSDS, TDS, Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading and Certificate of Origin (Turkey or UAE). SGS or Bureau Veritas pre-shipment inspection is available at buyer's request.
Which ports do you export potassium chloride from?
We export from Jebel Ali (UAE) and Mersin (Turkey), with FOB, CIF, CFR and DDP terms to ports across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the Americas. Dual-origin shipping protects buyers against single-corridor disruption.
What is the shelf life of potassium chloride and how should it be stored?
Stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area in sealed original packaging, KCl keeps its specification for up to 5 years. Keep it away from moisture (which causes caking) and from strong acids and oxidizers.
