Caustic Potash (Potassium Hydroxide)

Description

Caustic Potash, chemically known as Potassium Hydroxide (KOH), is a highly caustic inorganic compound widely used in industrial and manufacturing processes. This industrial-grade potassium hydroxide is a strong alkaline substance that appears as a white solid, typically in pellet or flake form.

It is highly hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air. When dissolved in water, it releases significant heat and forms a strongly alkaline solution, making it suitable for applications requiring high pH levels and effective chemical reactivity.

Caustic Potash is commonly used in chemical processing, soap and detergent production, and industrial cleaning applications. Its strong alkalinity also makes it effective for pH control and neutralisation in various industrial systems.
