Potassium pyrophosphate, also known as tetrapotassium pyrophosphate, has a chemical formula of K4P2O7 and is an inorganic compound. Potassium pyrophosphate appears as white powder, easily soluble in water, but insoluble in ethanol. Potassium pyrophosphate is extremely hygroscopic and deliquescent and is widely used in food processing, refined clay, bleaching and dyeing industry, coatings, detergents and other fields.

The preparation methods of potassium pyrophosphate include neutralization and calcination method and dipotassium hydrogen phosphate method. The neutralization and calcination method uses potassium hydroxide and phosphoric acid as the main raw materials. After neutralization reaction, heating, and filtration, a dipotassium hydrogen phosphate solution is obtained, and then the finished product is obtained through processes such as drying, roasting, and cooling. The coke produced by this method is Potassium phosphate meets food-grade requirements and is the mainstream preparation method for potassium pyrophosphate; the dipotassium hydrogen phosphate method uses dipotassium hydrogen phosphate as the main raw material and undergoes dehydration, polymerization, cooling, pulverization and other processes to obtain finished products. This method has high production costs and Continuous production is not possible.

The main raw materials of potassium pyrophosphate are potassium hydroxide and phosphoric acid. Potassium hydroxide, also known as caustic potassium, is highly alkaline and is an important chemical raw material widely used in electronic and electrical, chemical and other fields. There are many potassium hydroxide manufacturers in my country, including Changyi Haineng, Salt Lake Industry, Ruida Taifeng, etc. In recent years, with the increasingly strong market demand, my country’s potassium hydroxide production capacity has continued to increase, reaching 1.3 million tons in 2022. The supply of raw materials is sufficient, laying a good foundation for the development of my country’s potassium pyrophosphate industry.

According to the “2023-2028 China Potassium Pyrophosphate Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, Potassium pyrophosphate is used in a wide range of applications, including food processing, refined clay, bleaching and dyeing industries, coatings, cleaning agents, etc. In the field of food processing, potassium pyrophosphate can be used as a chelating agent, emulsifier and texture improver for canned fruits, ice cream, ham, pasta and other foods; in the field of detergents, potassium pyrophosphate can be used to produce metal surface cleaners, clothing Detergent etc. Benefiting from the increasingly strong market demand, the development space of potassium pyrophosphate industry continues to expand.

The main manufacturers of potassium pyrophosphate in my country include Shanghai Kanglang Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Wuhan Dongkanyuan Technology Co., Ltd., Nantong Kanglong Chemical Co., Ltd., Changzhou Suhang Fine Chemical Co., Ltd., Sichuan Xinchuangxin Chemical Co., Ltd., etc. At present, there are many small and medium-sized enterprises in my country’s potassium pyrophosphate market, and the distribution of production capacity is relatively scattered, resulting in low industry concentration.

Industry analysts said that potassium pyrophosphate has a wide range of applications and there is huge room for development in the industry. Benefiting from sufficient supply of raw materials and continuous improvements in production technology, my country’s potassium pyrophosphate production capacity continues to increase. There are many potassium pyrophosphate manufacturers in my country, but market competition is relatively fragmented. It is expected that in the future, as my country’s potassium pyrophosphate industrial structure continues to be optimized, backward companies will be at risk of being eliminated.
