Potassium oxide (KOH)90% Flake

Potassium Oxide(KOH)90% flake

Properties：

Usage：

*Mainly used as raw materials for potassium salt production, such as potassium permanganate, potassium carbonate, potassium aluminate, laurate, formate, gluconate, etc.

*Used to adjust the pH value of chemical solutions, chemical analysis reagents, such as in acid titration, to help determine concentration

levels.

*To promote drying, it can be used as a desiccant to remove moisture from alkaline solvents, especially amines and pyridines.

In the petrochemical industry:

*In the refining of oil and natural gas, potassium hydroxide helps to remove organic acids and sulfur compounds.

*Plays a catalytic role in the production of biodiesel from fats and oils.

*Carbon dioxide, sulfur trioxide, and nitrogen trioxide in the airflow are absorbed with the help of potassium hydroxide.

In the cosmetics industry:

*Used for manufacturing nail products as it helps to clean nails and dissolve the stratum corneum.

*Used for shaving products, it helps with hair removal.

*The raw materials for producing lotion, shampoos, hair gels and other cosmetics are mainly used as pH regulators and PH regulators.

In the food industry:

*Used to soften olives.

*It is a common food additive used in making soda, chocolate, and cocoa.

*Can be used as a thickener and stabilizer for foods such as ice cream.

*Helps to make crispy baked goods and can be added as a preservative to food.

*Used for producing colored caramel.

*Used for cleaning and chemical peeling of fruits and vegetables.

In the pharmaceutical and medical industry:

*Used for the production of potassium borohydride, spironolactone, salbutamol, testosterone propionate, etc.

*Used to destroy small cow horns.

*Used to dissolve warts and stratum corneum.

7. In the textile industry, it is used as a bleaching agent and is widely used as the main raw material for manufacturing artificial fibers and polyester fibers.

8. In the dye industry: used for the production of vat dyes, such as vat blue RSN.

9. In the leather industry: Potassium hydroxide plays an important role in removing hair from hides and is found in leather tanning chemicals.

10. In various industries, potassium hydroxide is used to remove grease or oil from metals.

11. Cleaning products: saponification of fat with potassium hydroxide can be used to produce potassium soap. Although soaps made using sodium hydroxide are more common, potassium soaps are softer and more soluble than these soaps. As a result, they contain more cleaning agents than liquefied sodium soaps. This is why liquid soap is potassium soap and solid soap is sodium soap. Potassium hydroxide is found in non-phosphate detergents. In products used to unclog drains and pipes.

12. In batteries and fuel cells: Potassium hydroxide dissolved in water is used as electrolyte in alkaline batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries and manganese dioxide zinc batteries; As a fuel cell electrolyte in fuel cells, potassium hydroxide solutions conduct electricity better than sodium hydroxide solutions.

13. In the pulp and paper industry: Potassium hydroxide is needed to help separate lignin from cellulose fibers and to help remove foam from the paper manufacturing process.

14. Potassium hydroxide is also used in the manufacture of printed circuit boards.

15. In the chemistry lab: Potassium hydroxide tests are helpful for detecting fungal infections on the skin and also for studying insect anatomy because it speeds up the process of breaking down soft tissues.
