Potassium Tetraoxalate, chemically KHC2O4·K2C2O4·2H2O, is a white crystalline dihydrate salt with strong acidic characteristics, highly soluble in water to form buffering solutions around pH 2-3. It acts as a chelating agent for metal ions, derived from oxalic acid neutralization, and is valued for its role in precise analytical calibrations.
SoleChem, an ISO 9001:2015 certified chemical supplier based in Türkiye, delivers Potassium Tetraoxalate (CAS 6100-20-5) to customers in more than 40 countries.
Potassium Tetraoxalate
Applications
Utilized in metal surface treatments for oxide removal; in electroplating baths for pH stabilization; in laboratory standards for acid-base titrations; in textile processing as mordant enhancers; and in cleaning solutions for industrial equipment descaling operations.
Safety & Risks
Corrosive nature poses risks of severe eye and skin burns upon contact; ingestion can lead to systemic oxalate poisoning affecting kidneys. Incompatible with strong bases generating heat; mandate acid-resistant PPE and emergency neutralization kits in handling zones per safety data sheets.
Packaging
Housed in 25 kg corrosion-resistant polypropylene containers with child-proof closures. Place in acid storage cabinets with spill trays, ensuring separation from alkaline materials.
