Application areas

Pharma

Dialysis

Potassium chloride and sodium chloride are essential components in hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. The principle of hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis is similar: the blood is continuously filtered through a membrane (dialyzer) in a circuit. The rinsing fluid (dialysate) is used to wash out the toxins in the blood as well as to return salts, nutrients, and electrolytes (e.g., sodium, potassium) to the blood. These substances are important, among other things, for balancing the patient's acid-base balance.

Pharma

Infusion solutions

An infusion is necessary for many disease patterns and serves to normalize a patient's fluid and salt balance. This is essential, for example, in cases of water deficiency or after severe bleeding. Furthermore, infusions are provided as part of artificial nutrition or for the administration of soluble medications, for example, during chemotherapy.

Pharma

Drugs and medicines

Potassium chloride and sodium chloride can be found in numerous medicines as active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) or as excipients.

Potassium and sodium are among the minerals absolutely required by the body and are an essential part of most pharmaceuticals/medications, for example in pain-relieving toothpastes or in laxatives. Potassium chloride is also used to treat hypokalemia.

Preparation of an electrolyte-containing beverage

Phama

Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) / electrolyte-containing drinks

Potassium chloride and sodium chloride are essential components of ORS / electrolyte-containing beverages.
The salts play an important role in balancing the water and electrolyte balance in the body.

Electrolyte-containing beverages with sodium and potassium salts are used to compensate for electrolyte loss after dehydration. Besides special drinks for athletes, standardized electrolyte solutions are ideal for restoring the electrolyte balance to the necessary equilibrium after severe electrolyte loss (e.g., diarrhea, vomiting, heat stroke).

Potassium chloride and sodium chloride from K+S are used, among other things, for the production of the World Health Organization (WHO) ORS drinking solution.

Pharma

Dietary supplements

Potassium chloride and sodium chloride are mainly added to dietary supplements in small amounts, e.g, to add electrolytes, flavor, stability or to support the preservation of the supplements

Accessories for enteral feeding, including bottles, tubes, and syringes.

Pharma

Parenteral / enteral nutrition

Potassium chloride and sodium chloride are essential components of parenteral and enteral nutrition.

Parenteral nutrition (PE) provides a patient with fluids and individual nutrients via the vascular system through infusions. This form of artificial nutrition largely bypasses the digestive tract.
Enteral nutrition in the narrower sense, or "tube feeding," is a form of artificial nutrition in which food is supplied via the gastrointestinal tract without using the oropharyngeal space.
