Description

Application
Potassium hydroxide pellets are widely used in pharmaceutical chemical and laboratory applications as a strong alkali for pH adjustment chemical synthesis titration and reagent preparation.

Purpose
Their purpose is to provide a strong alkaline medium for neutralization reactions the preparation of potassium salts pH control and various analytical and manufacturing processes.

General Description
Potassium hydroxide pellets (KOH) are white odorless highly hygroscopic and strongly caustic solid pellets that dissolve readily in water to form a strongly alkaline solution.
