Potassium hydroxide (KOH) is a white or colorless, odorless solid in flakes or pellets form and is highly soluble in water, creating a strongly alkaline solution, also known as lye or caustic potash. It is commonly used in various industrial and laboratory applications, such as soap and detergent production, refining petroleum, making potassium-based chemicals, and in electroplating, among others. It is also used in the food industry as an ingredient in the production of cocoa, chocolate, and other food items. Potassium hydroxide 90% flakes are a highly concentrated form often used as a powerful cleaning agent and as a desiccant in the laboratory. It should be handled with care due to its corrosive nature and can cause severe burns if it comes in contact with skin.
POISON: CAUSES SEVERE BURNS Avoid contact with skin, eyes, mucous membranes, and clothing. Do not inhale fumes.
