Overview

Potassium superoxide (KO2), yellow solid used as an oxygen source in breathing apparatus and oxygen generators.

Product description

Potassium superoxide, KO2 (CAS 12030-88-5), is a yellow solid that releases oxygen and absorbs carbon dioxide when it reacts with moisture and exhaled breath.

Its main use is as the oxygen source in chemical oxygen generators, rebreathers and self-contained breathing apparatus, including equipment used in mines, submarines and spacecraft.

It is a strong oxidiser and reacts vigorously with water. Keep it sealed, dry and away from organic and combustible material.

Supplied from Barka to customers across Oman. Tell us the grade, quantity and delivery site and we will send a quote.

Applications

Potassium superoxide is used in rebreathers, submarines, spacecraft, and spacesuits as an oxygen generator. It absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen. Potassium superoxide is used as a CO2 scrubber in rebreathers, submarines, spacecraft, and spacesuits. Potassium superoxide is used as a dehumidifier in rebreathers, submarines, spacecraft, and spacesuits. Potassium superoxide is used in self-contained breathing apparatus that is actuated by the lungs. It supplies oxygen and absorbs carbon dioxide and water.
