- Storage
Shelf Life
Potassium Chloride is stable under normal conditions for five (5) years, as documented in our product stability testing program but will harden with age. Anti-caking agents can aid flow, eliminate hardening and significantly extend shelf life.
Storage Conditions
Store KCl in closed containers in dry areas free of excess air flow.
