Potassium bicarbonate (IUPAC name: potassium hydrogencarbonate, also known as potassium acid carbonate) is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula KHCO 3. It is a white solid. It is a white solid.
Purple-K, also known as PKP, is a dry-chemical fire suppression agent used in some dry chemical fire extinguishers. [1] It is the second most effective dry chemical in fighting class B (flammable liquid) fires after Monnex (potassium allophanate), and can be used against some energized electrical equipment fires (USA class C fires).

While sodium bicarbonate has been shown to reduce to growth of mildews in lab tests, sprays containing only baking soda and water are not effective in controlling fungal diseases on infected plants, and high concentrations of sodium are harmful to plants. [17] Potassium bicarbonate is an effective low-toxicity fungicide against powdery mildew ...
Using baking soda in your garden is more harmful than helpful.
Cleaning agents or hard-surface cleaners are substances (usually liquids, powders, sprays, or granules) used to remove dirt, including dust, stains, foul odors, and clutter on surfaces. [1] Purposes of cleaning agents include health , beauty, removing offensive odors, and avoiding the spread of dirt and contaminants to oneself and others.
Typically, in K-type systems, fire-extinguishing aerosol particulates consist of potassium carbonate (K 2 CO 3) and potassium bicarbonate (KHCO 3) that are produced from the thermal decomposition of potassium nitrate (KNO 3) mixed with various reducers, binders (e.g., organic resin or melamine resin) and additives:
Potassium permanganate (KMnO 4) is a purplish-black crystalline powder that colours everything it touches, through a strong oxidising action. This includes staining "stainless" steel, which somewhat limits its use and makes it necessary to use plastic or glass containers.
It's free from aluminum, baking soda, parabens and synthetic fragrances. Plus, 5% alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) combats odor-causing bacteria and gently exfoliates to address discoloration and bumps.
