Chemical Name : Potassium Hydroxide (Potash Caustic)

Chemical Formula : KOH

Packaging Type : 25 Kg. In Bags

Definition and Areas of Use: :

Potassium Hydroxide is also known as Potash caustic, the formula of Potassium Hydroxide is known as KOH, it is a chemical substance in solid state, white in color. When it dissolves in water, it releases heat. Additionally, Potassium Hydroxide has moisture-retaining properties. It absorbs moisture in the environment and has a structure that can dissolve slowly. It is used in industrial products, in the cleaning industry, in agriculture, in the fertilizer industry, in veterinary medicine and in many other areas. Potassium Hydroxide or potassium hydrate is a chemical ingredient. Potassium Hydroxide, a chemical alkaline base that is a white solid substance that is incandescently volatile, melts at 360 °C, dissolves in water by releasing heat, has a wide range of uses. It absorbs moisture and produces a grayish or purple color over time. Being alkaline, it creates mobility to certain metals. Potassium Hydroxide is frequently used in agriculture to create an alkaline effect, especially to balance the pH level of acidic soils. In addition, it is also used in the production of agricultural pesticides. In addition, it is also used in medicine and industrial chemistry.

Potassium Hydroxidesubstance spreads to wide usage areas in industrial chemistry. Potassium Hydroxide is used in the production of recycled paper, liquid soap and many cleaning products. In addition, it is used in the production of some animal medicines in veterinary medicine. Potassium Hydroxide has a CO2-scavenging effect, so it is used in herbal experiments. It is used for neutralization purposes in dairy products. It is used in making Arabic soap and in fertilizer production. It allows the soap prepared with the addition of Potassium Hydroxide to stearic acid substances and caustic shaving soaps to lather better. It is used as an electrolyte in batteries.

Usage areas

  • In general, it is used instead of sodium hydroxide in substances where sodium levels must be limited. It is used in foods, dyestuffs, rubber production and organic synthesis.
  • In the preparation of potassium salt, in the carbonate compound, in the synthesis of phosphate substances, nitrate substances, permanganate substances, xanthate substances and iodide substances, in the production of industrial grade detergents, in the formation of fertilizers in solution, in insecticides and herbicides, in the production of pigment substances, in the production of rubber substances. It is used in papers used for the rubber industry, in the photography industry, in the medical industry, in alkaline batteries, that is, in battery production.
