Potassium Hydroxide – KOH | CAS 1310-58-3

Product Overview

Potassium hydroxide 20% w/v aqueous solution is a highly caustic, strongly alkaline liquid used in a wide variety of chemical and industrial processes. It serves as a powerful base for neutralization reactions, saponification in soap production, and as a reactant in the manufacturing of potassium-containing compounds. Its increased concentration enhances reactivity while maintaining manageable handling characteristics. This solution is also common in pH regulation, petroleum refining, textile processing, and cleaning formulations requiring high alkalinity.
