Potassium hydroxide(Cas 71769-53-4) Usage

General Description

Potassium hydroxide, also known as caustic potash, is a powerful base and strong alkali used in several industrial and manufacturing processes. Its chemical formula is KOH, and it is often found in the form of white, hygroscopic pellets or flakes. Potassium hydroxide is commonly used in the production of various chemicals, soaps, and detergents, as well as in the manufacturing of batteries, fertilizers, and pharmaceuticals. It is also used in the production of biodiesel and as a chemical reagent in laboratories. Potassium hydroxide is highly corrosive and can cause severe burns upon contact with skin, making it important to handle this chemical with care and appropriate safety precautions.
