It is essential for organic growth and is therefore added to agricultural fertilizers. Potassium enriched soil yields richer and fuller crops with bigger and brighter leaves and fruits.

It is also used as an effective water softener in mineral water softening systems as well as swimming pools. As soon as it is added to water, a chemical reaction lets the chlorine ions to bond with the water minerals. It traps corrosive elements like calcium chloride and magnesium and allows potassium ions to enter the water.
Potassium chloride is also used as a flux agent during welding and metal casting applications in industries.
Being effective at smothering flames, Potassium chloride becomes an important compound in the making of fire extinguishers.
