Like other piezoelectric materials, Sodium potassium tartrate crystals (KNaC4H4O6·4H2O) become strained when subjected to electric fields.
They decompose at moderately high temperatures (55° C [131° F]) and require protection against moisture.
Piezoelectric deformation is directly proportional to the applied electric field and reverses as the polarity of the applied field is reversed.
These basic properties are put to use in electromechanical transducers such as ultrasonic generators, microphones, and phonograph pickups and in electromechanical resonators.

Sodium-potassium tartrate (seignette salt, rochelle salt) is colorless rhombic crystals. Sodium-potassium tartrate melts at 70-80°С in crystallization water.
