Potassium Hydroxide Flakes - KOH - 2 lb. Canister Features

• Chemical Composition: Potassium hydroxide, often referred to by its formula KOH, is a strong inorganic alkali. In its pure form, it appears as white, deliquescent flakes that readily absorb moisture from the air.

• Reactivity and Handling: Potassium hydroxide is highly reactive, especially with water, where it releases heat and forms potassium hydroxide solution. Handling requires protective gear such as gloves and goggles due to its caustic nature, which can cause severe burns upon contact with skin.

• Solubility and Properties: It is highly soluble in water, ethanol, and methanol, making it useful in solutions where strong bases are required. The solution is strongly alkaline and can effectively neutralize acids.

• Maximize Efficiency and Performance: Leverage the potency of potassium hydroxide to enhance your production processes. Ideal for industries ranging from soap manufacturing to biofuel production, KOH flakes offer superior solubility and reactivity. Optimize your operations by integrating this high-quality chemical into your workflow for improved results and efficiency.
