Potassium Hydroxide Pellets AR 500g

Potassium Hydroxide Pellets AR 500g

Purity 98.5 %, Analytical Grade

Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) Pellets, especially Analytical Reagent (AR) grade, are highly pure, used as a strong base in labs for titrations, pH adjustment, and organic synthesis, but also industrially for making liquid soaps, alkaline batteries, fertilizers, detergents, biodiesel, and in water treatment, etching, and semiconductor manufacturing due to its strong alkalinity and reactivity, requiring careful handling due to its corrosive nature.

Laboratory & Analytical Uses (AR Grade)
Titrations & pH Adjustment: Precisely adjusting pH in experiments and titrimetric analysis.
Chemical Synthesis: Acting as a base or catalyst in organic reactions, such as producing amides or other fine chemicals.
Reagent: As a high-purity chemical reagent for research and sensitive analytical work.
Industrial & General Uses
Soap & Detergents: Key ingredient for liquid and soft soaps, and cleaning agents.
Batteries: As an electrolyte in alkaline batteries (Ni-Cd, Ni-H, MnO2-Zn).
Agriculture: In fertilizers and as a herbicide/pH adjuster.
Water Treatment: For pH correction, purification, and effluent treatment.
Manufacturing: In producing rayon, paper, dyes, petroleum products, cement, and textiles.
Cleaning: Paint/varnish removers, degreasers, and industrial cleaning.
Electronics: Used in semiconductor chip fabrication.
Safety Precautions (Crucial for Pellets)
Corrosive: Causes severe burns to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract.
Handling: Wear gloves, goggles, and protective clothing.
Storage: Keep tightly closed, in a cool, dry place, away from acids, moisture, and incompatible metals (aluminum, zinc).
