Product: Potassium Hydroxide (KOH)

CAS No.: 1310-58-3
Hazard Class: 8 (Corrosive)
UN No.: 1813
Appearance: White flakes/pellets

Description: Potassium hydroxide is produced through chlor-alkali electrolysis of potassium chloride solution, serving as a highly reactive alkali with superior solubility in water and alcohol compared to NaOH. Widely used in liquid soap/syndet production (saponification value 1.4×NaOH), biodiesel catalyst (transesterification), and specialty chemical synthesis (e.g., potassium carbonate). Its lower melting point (360°C vs NaOH's 318°C) facilitates molten state applications.
