Isticmaalka joogtada ah iyo kor u qaadista wax soo saarka potassium-ka ee meelaha-dhamaadka sare sida buundooyinka xawaaraha sare leh iyo dariiqyada dayuuradaha ee garoonka diyaaradaha ee deicing iyo dhalaalka barafka, si loo yareeyo daxalka koloriin on shubka laami ah. Codsiga macaamiisha ajnabiga ah, shirkadeena waxay cusboonaysiisay alaabta qaabka potassium. Waxa ku jira ions chloride ee badeecada la beddelay ee potassium-ka waxa la dhimay ilaa 50 ppm. Tani waxay xallisaa mashaakilaadka ragaadiyay warshadaha sanado badan, sida daxalka sodium chloride, magnesium chloride iyo cusbada dhalaalaysa barafka ee shubka, iyo dhibaatada urta acetic acid aad u xoogan ka dib marka baraf dhalaalayo sida acetate.
