Product Specifications

Potassium Hydroxide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula KOH and CAS Number 1310-58-3. Also known as caustic potash, it is commonly supplied as white pellets, flakes, or solid granules. It is highly soluble in water, and its dissolution releases considerable heat, producing a strongly alkaline solution.

Potassium Hydroxide is valued for its strong alkaline properties and ability to neutralise acids and participate in various chemical reactions. Common laboratory applications include acid-base titrations, pH adjustment, preparation of alkaline solutions, analytical chemistry procedures, and research involving inorganic compounds. It is also used in specialised chemical formulations, soap manufacturing, biodiesel production, and various industrial processes.

Its strong basic properties and high water solubility make Potassium Hydroxide useful in analytical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and general laboratory research. Different grades and purities are available, and the appropriate grade and concentration should be selected according to the requirements of the intended application.

KSFE Malaysia supplies laboratory chemicals and scientific products for research institutions, educational facilities, and general laboratory applications.

Safety Note: Potassium Hydroxide is highly corrosive and may cause severe skin burns and serious eye damage. It is harmful if swallowed and may cause serious injury upon exposure. Its dissolution in water generates significant heat and may cause splashing. Avoid direct contact with the eyes and skin and prevent inhalation of dust. Handle it using appropriate personal protective equipment in a suitable, well-ventilated area. When preparing solutions, add Potassium Hydroxide slowly to water with appropriate precautions and cooling; never pour water directly onto solid Potassium Hydroxide. Store it in a tightly closed, compatible container away from acids, moisture, and incompatible materials. Follow the supplier's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for proper handling, storage, and disposal.
