Potassium Hydroxide Pellets

Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) pellets are solid, white, odorless pellets composed of potassium ions (K⁺) and hydroxide ions (OH⁻). It is a strong base and alkali that is highly soluble in water. Potassium hydroxide pellets are widely used in industries and applications due to their alkaline properties.

Chemical Formula: KOH

Appearance: Solid, white pellets or beads.

Uses:

• pH Adjustment and Neutralization: Potassium hydroxide pellets are used to adjust the pH of solutions and neutralize acidic substances. They are commonly used in laboratory settings and industrial processes to control the acidity or alkalinity of solutions, ensuring optimal conditions for chemical reactions or product formulations.

• Cosmetics & Personal Care Industry: It is used to adjust the pH of cosmetic formulations to optimize stability and skin compatibility. It may be used as an emulsifying agent in creams, lotions, and other cosmetic products.

• Pharmaceuticals: Potassium hydroxide is used as a reagent in certain chemical reactions and synthesis processes during pharmaceutical manufacturing.

• Food Industry: In the manufacture of certain food products, potassium hydroxide may be utilized in processes such as cocoa processing, sugar refining, and dairy processing to adjust pH levels or aid in food production.

• Chemical Manufacturing: Used in chemical manufacturing processes as a strong base and alkali. They serve as a reagent in chemical reactions, including the production of potassium salts, esters, and organic compounds.
