Potassium hydroxide 1000g BIOMUS

Potassium hydroxide (caustic potash), KOH - an inorganic chemical compound from the group of hydroxides, one of the strongest bases. Under normal conditions, potassium hydroxide is a white solid. As a chemical reagent, it is usually produced in the form of brittle, crystalline, soft flakes or granules with a water content of around 15%. It has strong hygroscopic properties, greater than sodium hydroxide. It dissolves very well in water; the dissolution process is strongly exothermic. The solution, known as caustic soda, is strongly alkaline. Potassium hydroxide and its water solution absorb carbon dioxide from the air to form potassium carbonate, so it should be stored in airtight containers. It is highly corrosive and can cause severe burns. If swallowed, it causes burns in the esophagus and stomach, can cause its perforation.
