Synonyms: Caustic Potash; Lye; Potassium Hydrate
Chemical Name: Potassium Hydroxide (KOH)
Potassium Hydroxide is an odorless, white or slightly yellow, flakey or lumpy solid which is often in a water solution. It is used in making soap, as an electrolyte in alkaline batteries and in electroplating, lithography, and paint and varnish removers. Liquid contain 45 to 49% of Potassium Hydroxide
