Potassium pivalate-tseem hu ua potassium trimethylacetate lossis potassium neopentanoate- yog cov organic compound uas muaj ntau hom kev siv lub cev thiab kev siv. Nws nthuav tawm raws li cov dawb crystalline khoom thiab, nyob rau hauv cov nqe lus ntawm cov qauv tshuaj, belongs rau cov chav kawm carboxylate. Raws li cov ntsev, nws pom zoo solubility: nws yog yooj yim soluble nyob rau hauv ethanol thiab diethyl ether, thiab kuj yog soluble nyob rau hauv dej, nrog 1 gram ntawm poov tshuaj trimethylacetate dissolving nyob rau hauv 40 milliliters dej. Vim nws cov acidity, nws muaj corrosive zog thiab exerts ib tug corrosive nyhuv ntawm hlau.
Potassium pivalate ua haujlwm rau ntau lub hom phiaj kev lag luam, feem ntau ua haujlwm nruab nrab hauv kev sib txuas ntawm cov tshuaj tua kab, tshuaj, thiab tshuaj pleev xim; Nws kuj tseem siv tau rau hauv qib siab - cov txheej txheej, cov txheej txheem polymerization, cov ntaub ntawv photosensitive, fragrances, thiab lubricants. Tsis tas li ntawd, raws li acidification, nws yog ib qho nruab nrab hauv kev tsim cov tshuaj tua kab carbamate -tshwj xeeb Pirimicarb- thiab cov tshuaj tua kab mob Clomazone. Tus neeg pib *tert*-butyl peroxy pivalate, muab los ntawm cov khoom sib xyaw no, ua haujlwm zoo heev rau cov polymerization ntawm monomers xws li vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate, styrene, thiab acrylates.
