Purge Potassium Hydroxide – High Purity KOH for Soap & Industry

Purge Potassium Hydróxide 250g - Caustic potash - Lye - Potash lye - KOH

Inorganic industry is used as raw material for the production of potassium salts, such as potassium hydrogen phosphate. The daily chemical industry is used as raw materials for making potassium soap, washing soap, shampoo soft soap, snow cream, cold cream, shampoo, etc. Pharmaceutical industry is used to manufacture raw materials such as vanillin.

In the scientific nomenclature, the inorganic compound KOH – potassium hydroxide is also called caustic potash (or corrosive potash) and its aqueous solution is named potash lye. It is an extremely corrosive and hygroscopic strong alkaline in the form of white crystals or flakes. Industrial uses of potassium hydroxide ·Due to its caustic, bleaching and drying properties, potassium hydroxide is widely used in the chemical (production of detergents), automotive, pharmaceutical, food and beauty industries. ·The white crystals of KOH are used for example in the industrial production of: o Soaps (mostly soft soap),detergents, washing liquids and bleaches. Alkaline batteries, nickel-cadmium accumulators (potassium hydroxide is the electrolyte), Bio-fuels, Dyes, Medical products, In the food industry, potassium hydroxide granules are used as an acidity regulator and stabilizer. Designated as E525. It is added to a variety of processed products such as confectionery, preserves, cocoa or dietary supplements. The majority of properties that characterise potassium hydroxide are also typical for caustic soda lye, a compound which bears a very close resemblance to potassium hydroxide. That chemical substance is also used in the production of soaps or drain cleaners due to their shared hygroscopic properties.
