Applications
Deicing
Potassium acetate can be used as a deicer to remove ice and prevent its formation. It is a substitute for chloride salts such as calcium chloride or magnesium chloride in deicing applications. It offers the advantage of being less aggressive on soils and much less corrosive, and for this reason, is preferred for airport runways. It is, however, more expensive.
Fire extinguishing
Potassium acetate is the extinguishing agent used in Class K fire extinguishers because of its ability to cool and form a crust over burning oils.
Potassium acetate is used as a catalyst in the production of polyurethanes. Potassium acetate was originally used in the preparation of Cadet’s fuming liquid, the first organometallic compound produced. Potassium acetate is used as a diuretic and urinary alkaliser and acts by changing the physical properties of the body fluids and by functioning as an alkali after absorption.
