Packaging
Potassium acetate packaging is a paper-plastic composite bag.

storage

Potassium acetate is hygroscopic and should be stored in its original packaging or in a suitable airtight container in a dry and clean place. Under normal operating conditions, there will be no health hazards. Necessary precautions must be taken to avoid solid or liquid contact with skin or eyes. Under good ventilation conditions, high density exposure to air should be avoided.

First Aid Measures
Eye Contact: In case of contact with eyes, wash immediately with plenty of water, keep eyes open if necessary, seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wash contaminated clothing with water and wash clothing before wearing next time.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, seek medical attention.

Fire risk

Potassium acetate does not pose a Fire risk hazard.

Application
Potassium acetate can be used in the production of antibiotics, penicillin, hemodialysis solution, peritoneal dialysis solution. In addition, it can also be used as a textile conditioner, a catalyst for the production of polyurethane and carbon black. It can also be used in dehydrating agent and deicing agent of airport runway, oil field drilling fluid.

Physiological properties
Contact of solid or liquid with eyes may cause irritation and sensitization. Repeated skin contact may cause slight pain. Smoking a lot can lead to nostrils, throat and upper respiratory tract infection.
