What Is Potash Alum (Fitkari)?
Potash alum, also called potassium alum or potassium aluminium sulphate, is a crystalline double sulphate salt with the formula KAl(SO₄)₂·12H₂O. In India it is widely known as fitkari or phitkari. It forms clear, colourless to white crystals that dissolve in water and are valued for their astringent and clarifying properties.
Potash alum is different from the aluminium sulphate used as a bulk coagulant in water plants. It is a more refined, crystalline product with a defined chemical identity, so it is chosen where purity, crystal form or a specific application matters. If you need a high-volume water-treatment coagulant, see our ferric alum and non-ferric alum.
