Potassium Hydroxide 90%(Tech Grade)
1310-58-3 KOH
Potassium Hydroxide is a colorless solid and a typical strong base. It
has many industrial and commercial uses, most of which rely on its
corrosive nature and reactive properties with acids. It is estimated
that 700,000 to 800,000 tons were produced in 2005. The production of
sodium hydroxide is approximately 100 times that of potassium hydroxide
each year. Potassium hydroxide is widely regarded as a precursor to most
soft soaps, liquid soaps, and many potassium-containing chemicals. It
is a white solid with hazardous corrosive properties. Most commercial
samples have a purity of 90%, with the rest being water and carbonate.
PRODUCT APPLICATION
Potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide can be interchangeably used
in many applications, although sodium hydroxide is preferred in industry
due to its lower cost.
