Potassium Nitrate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- KNO3
- Nitrate of Potash
- Saltpetre
- Kalium Nitrat
Potassium nitrate is a water-soluble potassium salt supplied for agricultural, technical, food-processing and laboratory requirements. Also known as nitrate of potash, saltpetre or KNO3, it is available for quotation against the buyer's grade, form and specification.
Agricultural grade is used in fertigation, foliar nutrition and fertiliser blends where nitrate nitrogen and potassium are required without added chloride. Commercial forms include crystals, powder and granules, with dissolution and particle-size needs depending on the application.
Technical potassium nitrate is used in glass, ceramics, metal treatment, heat-transfer salt systems and other industrial formulations. Food and reagent grades serve applications with different purity, impurity and documentation requirements, so grade names should be supported by a written specification.
Send the required grade, assay or specification, preferred form, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Potassium Nitrate 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Agricultural grade potassium nitrate | water-soluble crystals, powder or granules | — | Fertigation, foliar feeding and fertiliser blending where a chloride-free source of potassium and nitrate nitrogen is required. State the nutrient specification, preferred form and application method with the enquiry. | confirmed with the quotation |
| Technical grade potassium nitrate | crystals, powder or granules | — | General industrial processing, glass and ceramic production, metal treatment and heat-transfer salt formulations. Send the required assay, particle size and impurity limits for specification matching. | confirmed with the quotation |
| Food grade potassium nitrate | white crystals or powder | — | Food-processing applications that call specifically for food grade potassium nitrate. The applicable grade specification and required documentation should be stated before quotation. | confirmed with the quotation |
| Reagent or high-purity potassium nitrate | fine crystals or powder | — | Laboratory, analytical and controlled formulation work requiring tighter purity or impurity limits than general technical material. Quote against the buyer's written specification rather than a generic grade name. | confirmed with the quotation |

Common questions about potassium nitrate
Which potassium nitrate grade should I request?
Request agricultural grade for crop nutrition, technical grade for general industrial processing, food grade where the application specification calls for it, or reagent and high-purity material for laboratory work. Send any assay, impurity and particle-size limits so the quotation can be matched to the actual requirement.
Is potassium nitrate available as powder, crystals or granules?
Potassium nitrate is commercially traded in crystalline, powder and granular forms. The suitable form depends on dissolution, blending, dosing and handling needs, so state the preferred particle form and application with the enquiry.
What information is needed for a potassium nitrate quotation?
Provide the grade, required specification, form, quantity and delivery location. For agricultural enquiries, include the intended fertigation, foliar or blending use; for industrial enquiries, include any critical assay or impurity limits.
Can potassium nitrate be used in fertigation and foliar programmes?
Agricultural grade potassium nitrate is used as a water-soluble source of nitrate nitrogen and potassium in fertigation and foliar nutrition. Buyers should provide their nutrient specification, dissolution needs and preferred form when requesting a quotation.
What specifications should an industrial buyer provide?
Common purchasing points include assay, moisture, insoluble matter, particle size and limits for application-sensitive impurities. Requirements vary by process, so the buyer's specification should be supplied for confirmation rather than relying only on the term technical grade.
Are packing and documents fixed for every grade?
No. Packing and available documentation can differ by grade and source. State the required pack format and documents with the enquiry, and these will be confirmed with the quotation.
