Independent verification of Potassium Hexafluorophosphate on third-party scientific databases:
Potassium Hexafluorophosphate is supplied in HDPE woven bags with inner LDPE liner (25 kg / 50 kg net), HDPE drums (25 / 50 / 250 kg), and FIBC jumbo bags (500 / 1000 kg) for solid grades. Liquid grades ship in HDPE-lined steel drums (250 kg) or 1000 L IBC totes. Custom packaging — including nitrogen-blanketed, moisture-tight, or food-grade containers — is available on request.
Standard MOQ is 1 metric tonne for solid grades and 200 kg for liquid grades; pilot quantities of 5–25 kg are available for R&D qualification. Stock items dispatch within 7–10 working days from confirmed PO. Made-to-order grades and large export consignments require 3–4 weeks. Indian deliveries by road typically reach 4–7 days; export FCL shipments depend on destination port.
Yes. A 16-section GHS-format SDS is dispatched with every shipment and is also available in advance from marketing@sbfluorochem.com. A batch-specific COA accompanies every consignment and is emailed before dispatch for goods-receipt verification. Test methods follow IS / ASTM / USP / IP / EP as applicable.
SB Chemicals exports to over 35 countries across South-East Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. We hold IEC, GST, and APEDA registrations. Shipments move CIF / FOB / CFR / FCA / EXW from Mundra, Nhava Sheva (JNPT), or Hazira ports. Letter of Credit (LC), TT, and DA terms are accepted subject to credit approval.
Yes. SB Chemicals operates an ISO 9001:2015 certified Quality Management System at the GIDC Vapi facility. Every batch undergoes raw-material testing, in-process control, and final QC release before despatch. Clients are welcome to schedule a third-party audit of the plant.

Solubility in water 8.6 g/100mL at 20°C, increasing with temperature. Aqueous solutions are weakly acidic. The PF6- anion is non-coordinating, making KPF6 valuable in coordination chemistry where weakly-binding counter-anions are needed.
Industrial grades conform to generic supplier specifications. Battery grades target 99.5%+ assay with moisture below 100 ppm and metals below 5 ppm — there is no single global pharmacopeia or industry standard yet, but JIS K 0211 (Japanese Industrial Standard for analytical reagents) is sometimes referenced. Photoinitiator grade for UV-cure systems requires controlled hydrolysis-product limits.
CAS 17084-13-8. UN 3260 — Class 8 (Corrosive), PG III when in solution; non-hazardous solid for many transport classifications. GHS pictograms: GHS05 (corrosive on hydrolysis), GHS07 (harmful). REACH registered. TSCA listed. Hydrolyses under acidic conditions to release HF — store sealed away from acids and moisture.
| Grade | Typical Specification | Common Use |
|---|---|---|
| Industrial | 98-99% | General research, photoinitiator chemistry |
| AR / Lab | 99.5%+ | Laboratory reagent, analytical chemistry |
| Battery (3N+) | 99.9%+ low-moisture | Potassium-ion battery electrolyte |
| Ultra-Dry | 99.9%+ <50ppm H2O | Solid-state K-ion electrolyte research |
