Applications
Chemical Industry: It is an important raw material for the preparation of potassium salts such as potassium permanganate, potassium carbonate, potassium phosphate, etc. It is also used in the production of potassium soaps, cosmetics, detergents, etc.
Electroplating Industry: Adding potassium hydroxide to electroplating solutions helps adjust the pH value of the solution, improve plating effects, and enhance the quality and stability of the coating.
Battery Industry: It is an important component of alkaline battery electrolytes, such as nickel-metal hydride batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries, etc., providing the alkaline environment required for battery reactions to ensure battery performance and lifespan.
Pharmaceutical Field: Used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, such as participating in reactions as an alkaline reagent in the production of certain drugs.
Food Industry: In food processing, it can be used as a pH regulator, leavening agent, etc. For example, in the production of chocolate and cocoa products, it is used to adjust pH values and improve product flavor and quality.
Other Industries: Used in the paper industry for cooking and bleaching paper; used in the textile industry for degreasing and degumming wool and silk.
Safety Precautions
Corrosive: Potassium hydroxide is highly corrosive and can cause severe burns to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. If skin comes into contact with potassium hydroxide, it should be immediately rinsed with plenty of water, followed by neutralization treatment with boric acid solution, etc.
Storage Requirements: It should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse, away from sources of ignition, heat, and direct sunlight. The packaging must be sealed, kept dry, stored separately from acids, flammable materials, etc., and should not be mixed.
