Product Description
Product Description
Potassium hydroxide(KOH) is highly basic. Potassium hydroxide, KOH, also known as caustic potash and lye, is a hydroxide salt.
Potassium hydroxide can be divided into food grade and industrial grade, of which 99% industrial grade potassium hydroxide is mainly used in leather, papermaking, printing and dyeing, sewage treatment and other fields;
Food grade potassium hydroxide is mainly used in pharmaceutical intermediates, various potassium salts, food additive ingredients, food processing container cleaning, disinfection and other fields.| TEST ITEM | STANDARD VALUE(%) | TEST VALUE(%) |
