Properties and Usage:

POTASSIUM ANTIMONY TARTRATE（CAS 16039-64-8）, also known as Tartar emetic, is a high-purity, natural, non-toxic organic compound in the form of a fine white powder that is easily soluble in water.

1. Food and Beverage Industry

Tartar emetic is the core ingredient of baking powder. It reacts with sodium bicarbonate to produce carbon dioxide, making baked products such as cakes and biscuits fluffy and light. In addition, tartar emetic stabilizes foam and prevents collapse in the production of meringue. As an acidity regulator, it gives food and beverages a delicate sour taste. At the same time, in winemaking, tartar emetic helps balance acidity, precipitate impurities, and enhance the taste and clarity of wine.

2. Chemical and Pharmaceutical Fields

Tartar emetic is an important reagent in chemical analysis, such as for the preparation of Fehling's reagent to detect the reducing property of sugars. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used as a buffer or excipient to enhance the performance stability of drugs.

3. Industrial and Cleaning Fields

In printing and dyeing and leather processing, tartar emetic is used as a mordant to improve the uniformity and color fastness of dyes. In electroplating, it optimizes the adhesion and uniformity of the coating, ensuring high-quality surface treatment. In addition, tartar emetic mixed with vinegar can be made into a natural and environmentally friendly cleaner that effectively removes dirt and mineral deposits, suitable for household cleaning and metal care.

4. Other uses

In handicrafts and ceramic production, tartar emetic is used as a non-toxic additive to enhance the texture and strength of the finished product. At the same time, it is used in pharmaceutical insecticide formulations in environmentally friendly agriculture to provide a natural and environmentally friendly insecticide effect.
