Potassium Bicarbonate (KHCO3) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- KHCO3
- Potassium Acid Carbonate
- Potassium Hydrogen Carbonate
- Kali Bicarbonate
Potassium bicarbonate supplier for food, beverage, agricultural, pharmaceutical, fire-extinguisher and general industrial buyers in Malaysia. Also called KHCO3, potassium hydrogen carbonate, potassium acid carbonate and kali bicarbonate, this white crystalline salt is highly soluble in water and selected where a potassium-based bicarbonate is preferred over sodium bicarbonate.
Commercial options include food grade for leavening and pH control, technical grade for industrial buffering and dry chemical work, agricultural grade for powdery mildew sprays and soluble potassium nutrition, and fire-extinguisher grade for dry chemical BC powder blends. Particle size, assay and documentation are matched to the stated end use rather than treated as one generic stock item.
Food and beverage processors use potassium bicarbonate as a sodium-free leavening agent, acidity regulator and buffering salt. Growers and formulators use it for contact fungicide programmes against powdery mildew and as a readily soluble potassium source. Manufacturers also specify it in dry chemical extinguisher powders and related industrial blends.
Send the required grade, specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Potassium Bicarbonate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Food grade potassium bicarbonate | fine white crystalline powder | — | Leavening, pH control and potassium enrichment in bakery, beverages, cocoa processing and other food formulations where a low-sodium bicarbonate is specified. Send the food specification or additive requirements that the material must meet. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Technical grade potassium bicarbonate | white crystalline powder or granules | — | General industrial buffering, acid neutralisation, dry chemical blending and process pH adjustment where food or agricultural documentation is not required. Particle size and assay can be matched to the dosing method. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Agricultural grade potassium bicarbonate | free-flowing crystalline powder or granules | — | Contact fungicide sprays for powdery mildew control and as a readily soluble potassium source in fertigation or foliar programmes. State the crop use, target dilution and any formulation limits with the enquiry. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Fire-extinguisher grade potassium bicarbonate | free-flowing dry powder | — | Dry chemical agent for BC and related extinguisher blends where potassium bicarbonate is specified as the active powder. Particle size, moisture and flow properties should be stated against the blend requirement. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about potassium bicarbonate
Which potassium bicarbonate grade should I request?
Choose the grade by end use and the specification your process must meet. Food, technical, agricultural and fire-extinguisher grades can differ in impurity limits, particle size, moisture and documentation even though all are potassium bicarbonate. Send the application and target specification with the enquiry.
Is potassium bicarbonate the same as KHCO3 or potassium hydrogen carbonate?
Yes. KHCO3, potassium hydrogen carbonate and potassium acid carbonate are common names for potassium bicarbonate. Kali bicarbonate is a Malay and Indonesian trade form of the same name. Buyers should still state the required grade because food, agricultural and technical uses do not share one specification.
Can potassium bicarbonate replace baking soda in reduced-sodium food?
It is widely used as a sodium-free leavening and buffering alternative to sodium bicarbonate in bakery, beverage and other food systems. Suitability depends on the recipe, processing method and required food specification, so describe the application when enquiring.
Is potassium bicarbonate used as a fungicide or fertiliser?
Yes. Agricultural buyers use it as a contact fungicide for powdery mildew and as a readily soluble potassium source in sprays and fertigation. Provide the crop use, dilution target and any formulation limits so the quotation can address the requirement.
What packing and documents can be requested?
Typical industrial packs include 25 kg, 50 kg and 200 kg bags, but the available pack format depends on grade, source and order quantity. List any required product documents and preferred packing in the enquiry; both are confirmed with the quotation.
What details are needed for a potassium bicarbonate price enquiry?
Provide the grade, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Mention particle size, preferred packing, documentation needs and timing so the quotation can cover the complete requirement.
