Potassium hydroxide is a non–flammable explosion-proof substance, easily dissolves in alcohol and water. During dissolution, the substance releases heat; it quickly absorbs carbon dioxide and water from the air, turning into potassium carbonate. Potassium hydroxide of the ILEM company is sold wholesale in bags of 25 kg.
The substance has a high hygroscopicity, although less pronounced than that of sodium hydroxide. Its aqueous solutions have a pronounced alkaline reaction. The reagent is widely used in the food industry, where it is called a food additive E525, in metallurgy, in the production of alkaline power sources, in metallurgy, medicine, pharmacology, in the production of detergents, in gas cleaning. Being a very strong alkali, caustic potassium acts in contact with mucous membranes and skin in a cauterizing manner, but its contact with the eyes is especially dangerous. Therefore, all work with it should be done carefully and with the use of personal protective equipment, such as rubber gloves and glasses.
It has the following properties:
It is used for the production of fertilizers, synthetic rubber, electrolytes for batteries, reagents, xanthogenates, salts, plastics, in the chemical industry for the production of various organic and inorganic compounds, in the production of biodiesel as a catalyst, in the medical industry and in other sectors of the national economy.
It is used to produce liquid and soft soaps, shampoos, soap creams and bleaches.
It is actively used to obtain other compounds. It is also used for the production of dyes. It is used as a catalyst. It is an integral part of fertilizers and pesticides.
It is used to give cotton fabrics better absorbency.
Is used:
It is used for the preparation of drilling fluids. Participates in the distillation of oil.
It is widely used in medical institutions, as it has a powerful antimicrobial effect, and at elevated temperatures, concentrated solutions are effective in combating even spore forms of infections. In agriculture, it is widely used for disinfection of premises for animals and poultry. Hot 2-10% aqueous solutions are effective in cleaning vehicles after transporting animals and livestock raw materials, as well as warehouses. Wholesale batches of the chemical are sent to consumers in containers regulated by GOST 24363-80 by all available modes of transport.
Our company offers to buy potassium hydroxide (Lat. Kalii hydroxidum) wholesale from warehouses located in Russia. There is delivery in Russia and neighboring countries. We will deliver the product to you in the optimal time and at a favorable price.
The potassium hydroxide proposed for sale is also known by synonyms: potassium alkali, caustic potash, potassium hydroxide, potassium lye, caustic potassium. The physical form of this reagent is colorless crystals, white scales or granules having a lentil shape and slightly colored in green, gray or lilac colors. The color is determined by the impurities included in its composition. For technical needs, potassium oxide hydrate in Russia is produced according to GOST 9285-78, and having the maximum chemical purity (more than 95%) according to GOST 24363-80. Note that the purity of potassium hydroxide produced in France, South Korea and China rarely exceeds 90-95 percent. The parameters of a foreign reagent are described by the regulatory document CAS 1310-58-3.
