Caustic Potash, also known as Potassium Hydroxide (KOH), is a white, deliquescent solid or clear liquid with strong alkaline properties. It is highly soluble in water, alcohol, and glycerol, producing a strongly exothermic reaction when dissolved. Caustic Potash is a powerful base used extensively in chemical manufacturing, soaps & detergents, fertilizers, batteries, and food processing.
Available in both flake and liquid forms, Caustic Potash is known for its high purity, strong reactivity, and excellent performance as a pH adjuster, cleaning agent, and electrolyte.
