50% Potassium hydroxide
Potassium hydroxide (CAS 1310-58-3), commonly called caustic potash, is a highly corrosive and hygroscopic strong base. Its chemical formula is KOH. When dissolved in solution, it forms potassium lye and appears as a colorless and odorless liquid. It is obtained by electrolysis of aqueous potassium chloride solution.
We offer potassium lye diluted in water at a mass concentration of 50%.
The term potassium is often replaced in everyday language by "potash". This popular expression encompasses a wide range of meanings and can lead to confusion.
Depending on the application, potassium hydroxide can replace sodium hydroxide and is used notably in the production of potassium carbonate.
