Applications:
Technical Grade:
Mainly used as the raw material for chemicals and pharmaceuticals ext. Such as

1. raw material for Fire extinguishers
Potassium Bicarbonate is used as a fire suppression agent ("BC dry chemical") in some dry chemical fire extinguishers, as the principal component of the Purple-K dry chemical, and in some applications of condensed aerosol fire suppression. It is the only dry chemical fire suppression agent recognized by the U.S. National Fire Protection Association for firefighting at airport crash rescue sites. It is about twice as effective in fire suppression as sodium hydrogencarbonate.

2.Agriculture:
Potassium hydrogencarbonate has widespread use in crops, especially for neutralizing acidic soil.
Potassium hydrogencarbonate is an effective fungicide against powdery mildew and apple scab, allowed for use in organic farming.

Food grade: This compound is a source of carbon dioxide for leavening in baking. It can substitute for baking soda (sodium hydrogencarbonate) for those with a low-sodium diet, and it is an ingredient in low-sodium baking powders.As an inexpensive, nontoxic base, it is widely used in diverse application to regulate pH or as a reagent. Examples include as buffering agent in medications, an additive in winemaking.
Potassium hydrogencarbonate is often found added to club soda to improve taste, and to soften the effect of effervescence.
