Basic Information

Potassium Hydroxide
Caustic Potash
KOH

Potassium hydroxide, also known as caustic potash, is a strong inorganic base that forms alkaline solutions in polar solvents. Its acid-neutralizing behavior supports potassium salt manufacture, chemical analysis, and organic synthesis. It is also used in soft soaps, cleaning formulations, electroplating, wood treatment, dye processing, and carbon dioxide absorption systems.
