Potassium Hydroxide – KOH | CAS 1310-58-3

Product Overview

Potassium hydroxide (KOH), commonly known as caustic potash, is a strong alkali available in flake form. It is widely used for neutralization reactions, pH control, and as a fundamental reagent in both organic and inorganic chemical synthesis. The flaked form provides efficient handling, reduced dusting, and rapid solubility in water, making it a preferred choice in numerous industrial and laboratory settings. Its high reactivity and ability to absorb moisture and carbon dioxide from air necessitate proper storage and handling procedures.
