Potassium hydroxide (KOH), commonly known as caustic potash, is the largest-volume potassium chemical for non-fertilizer use. It is produced by the electrolysis of potassium chloride with membrane cell technology. Co-products are chlorine and hydrogen.
A strong alkali, Potassium Hydroxide is available in both liquid and dry forms. It has applications in fertilizers, batteries, soaps and detergents, specialty glasses, and other industrial operations. It also serves as a chemical intermediate for dyes, pharmaceuticals, and photographic chemicals.
Potassium Hydroxide is a highly corrosive and reactive chemical. It can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and gastrointestinal tract. Please see the health and safety data sheet attached for further information.
Potassium Hydroxide (KOH), Anhydrous (Flakes). Flakes KOH is produced by evaporating water from a concentrated solution of liquid KOH. Molten KOH is poured onto a cool metal drum where it immediately crystalizes and is scraped from the drum.
