Application Note

Merck potassium chloride is a high-quality inorganic salt for pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical formulations, electrolyte adjustment and aqueous solution preparation. The chemical formula is KCl, with CAS number 7447-40-7 and a molecular weight of 74.56 g/mol. EMPROVE ESSENTIAL grade provides a defined raw-material option for manufacturing environments that require consistent composition and supporting quality documentation. Potassium chloride can contribute potassium and chloride ions to buffer systems, process solutions and selected formulations where ionic strength or electrolyte balance needs control. The material carries quality references including Ph. Eur., BP, ChP, JP, USP, FCC and food-additive E508. It is a solid raw material rather than a premixed electrolyte solution. The base product identifier covers multiple package configurations; selecting a package size requires the full commercial ordering suffix.
