Overview of Potassium Thiocyanate

Potassium Thiocyanate is an important inorganic thiocyanate salt widely used in chemicals, pharmaceuticals, textiles, photography, metallurgy, and industrial processing. Chemically, the potassium thiocyanate formula is KSCN, formed by the combination of potassium ions and the thiocyanate anion. Its ionic nature and good solubility make it suitable for various controlled industrial applications.

In appearance, Potassium Thiocyanate is a white to colourless crystalline solid that is hygroscopic and readily soluble in water and alcohol. The potassium thiocyanate melting point is approximately 173–175 °C, allowing stable handling under normal industrial conditions. It is identified in industrial and regulatory documentation by the potassium thiocyanate CAS number 333-20-0.

Due to its reactivity and versatility, potassium thiocyanate uses are largely industrial.
