Description
At PILATO, we market potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃) for the industrial market in Spain. Through a company-wide, integrated quality management system, we ensure immediate product availability and an operational approach focused on meeting our customers’ delivery schedules and technical requirements, while integrating seamlessly into their supply chains.

Potassium carbonate is widely used in the ceramic sector and to lower the melting point of optical and special glass, where potassium oxide provides a highly effective flux. It is also used in the production of soft soaps, in liquid detergents and cleaning products, in the fertiliser industry as a source of potassium, and as a food additive. In chemistry it is also a widely used alkalising and drying agent.

We supply potassium carbonate in 25 kg bags and big bags, supported by agile logistics to facilitate its integration into processes already validated by our customers.

  • Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About the Potassium Carbonate

What does potassium contribute compared with sodium in a glass or a glaze?

Both are alkaline fluxes, but they do not behave in the same way. Potassium produces a melt of higher viscosity and a wider working range, and generally gives greater gloss. Sodium melts more aggressively and has a higher coefficient of thermal expansion. The choice affects the fit between glaze and body.

Because potassium salts of fatty acids are more soluble than sodium salts. That higher solubility is what produces soft or paste-consistency soaps and liquid formulations, as opposed to the hard bars obtained with sodium compounds.

Yes, potassium carbonate absorbs moisture from the air. It should be kept in a closed container in a dry place, avoiding leaving bags open between dosing operations, since water uptake can cause caking and affect dosing by weight.
