Product Description
Potassium Hydroxide (Caustic Potash) Flakes
Potassium Hydroxide, commonly known as Caustic Potash (KOH), is a strong inorganic alkali that appears as white, deliquescent flakes or pellets. It is chemically similar to Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic Soda) but exhibits higher solubility and is capable of withstanding higher temperatures. At Shandong Yinglang Chemical Co., Ltd., we supply premium Potassium Hydroxide produced via the membrane electrolysis process, ensuring low chloride and iron content. It is a critical raw material for the production of liquid soaps and potassium salts.
