Product Description

Product Description

KOH (chemical formula :KOH, formula :56.11) white powder or flake solid.
The melting point was 360~406ºC, the boiling point was 1320~1324ºC, the relative density was 2.044g/cm, the flash point was 52°F, the refractive index was N20 /D1.421, the vapor pressure was 1mmHg(719ºC).
Highly alkaline and corrosive. Very easy to absorb moisture in the air and delirium, absorb carbon dioxide and become potash. Soluble in about 0.6 parts hot water, 0.9 parts cold water, 3 parts ethanol and 2.5 parts glycerin.
A great deal of heat is produced when dissolved in water, alcohols, or treated with acids. The pH of 0.1 molar solution is 13.5. Medium toxicity, half of the lethal dose (rats, through the mouth)1230mg/kg.
Soluble in ethanol, slightly soluble in ether. It is highly alkaline and corrosive, and its properties are similar

Applications

 1. Used as a desiccant, absorbent, in the production of oxalic acid and various potassium salts, as well as in electroplating, carving, lithography, and other applications.

2. Mainly used as raw materials for potassium salt production, such as potassium carbonate, etc. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used to produce  spironolactone,  etc. Used in the production of potassium soap, alkaline batteries, cosmetics (such as cold cream, snow cream, and shampoo) in light industry. In the dye industry, it is used to produce vat dyes such as vat blue RSN. In the electrochemical industry, it is used for electroplating, carving, etc. In the textile industry, it is used for printing, dyeing, bleaching, and mercerization, and is widely used as the main raw material for manufacturing artificial fibers and polyester fibers. In addition, it is also used in metallurgical heating agents and leather degreasing.

3. Basic chemical raw materials, used in pharmaceuticals, daily chemical industry, etc. Medicine | Education | Online Collection and Sorting

4. Used as an absorbent for analytical reagents, saponification reagents, carbon dioxide, and water.

5. The daily chemical industry is used as a raw material for manufacturing soap for cleaning dirt, shampoo, snow cream, cold cream, shampoo, etc. The pharmaceutical industry is used to manufacture raw materials such as progesterone and vanillin. The dye industry is used to manufacture melamine dyes. The battery industry is used to manufacture alkaline batteries.

Storage:
KOH easily gets damp and decomposed. Once coming into contact with the air, it will absorb carbon dioxide from the air and become degraded. It should therefore be stored in a dry place with intact packaging to keep it from becoming damp. And it should be stored and carried separately from any acids. Aluminum, tin, lead, zine and its alloys, explosives, peroxides, ammonium salts,inflammables,etc.Puring transportation it should be protected with covering, handle it with care to avoid packaging damage.

QUALITY INSPECTION
Our chemicals can be tested by any impartial third party, such as SGS,BV,ISO,CE, etc.
