Uses

Fertilizers: The primary use of Potassium Chloride is agricultural, as it is the main ingredient in potassium-based fertilizers. It is beneficial to the plants in ways of retaining water. Its increasing powers enhance the strengths of the roots of the plants; thus, it will resist diseases easily.

Medical Use: Potassium chloride is used as a supplement, which is given to prevent low potassium levels in the blood hypokalaemia in patients. It is most commonly taken in the form of tablets but also often given to patients in intravenous injections.

Food Processing: In the food industry, Potassium Chloride is used as a salt substitute in prepared foods in order to reduce sodium levels.

Industrial Applications:: It is applied in numerous industrial processes such as the manufacture of potassium hydroxide and potassium metal and other chemical reactions.
Water Softening: Potassium Chloride is utilized as a regenerating agent in water softeners, where it will replace sodium chloride in the treatment of water processes.
