POTASSIUM BICARBONATE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Potassium bicarbonate (KHCO3) is a white, crystalline powder used as a leavening agent in baking, a buffering agent in pharmaceuticals, and a fire suppressant. It is also employed in agriculture as a fungicide and in water treatment to adjust pH levels. Potassium bicarbonate is mildly alkaline and can cause skin and eye irritation upon contact. Proper handling includes the use of protective gloves and goggles. Storage should be in a cool, dry place, away from incompatible substances like strong acids. Disposal must follow local regulations to prevent environmental contamination. Potassium bicarbonate is valued for its versatility and effectiveness in various applications, providing essential alkalinity and buffering properties.
