Caustic Potash Flakes (KOH)

Category:

Alkali Chemical / Inorganic Base / Industrial Raw Material

Description:

Caustic Potash Flakes (KOH) is a high-purity, white hygroscopic alkali chemical manufactured through the electrolysis of potassium chloride solution. Known for its strong alkalinity and solubility, it is widely used as a key raw material in chemical processing, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, soaps, detergents, and specialty potassium-based compounds. Available in dry flake form for ease of handling and storage.

Applications:

• Manufacture of potassium carbonate, phosphates, silicates & other potassium salts
• Detergents, soaps & personal care products
• Pharmaceutical and food-grade chemical production
• Battery electrolytes & electroplating chemicals
• Biodiesel production catalyst
• Fertilizers & agrochemicals
• Textile mercerization & dyeing chemicals
• Oil drilling mud chemicals
• Water treatment & chemical processing
