Potassium Hydroxide 90% – Industrial Grade Alkali

Potassium Hydroxide 90% is a caustic alkali used in many industrial processes that need strong alkaline solutions. It’s a white, crystalline solid. Used for soap making and chemical processing. Industries across Australia use this industrial grade potassium hydroxide.

It’s one of the strongest bases available. Provides alkalinity for saponification, pH adjustment, and chemical synthesis. The high concentration means you use less, which saves money.

What Is Potassium Hydroxide 90%?

Also called caustic potash. Made by electrolysis of potassium chloride solution. The 90% concentration means high purity with minimal water. Good for applications where water is a problem. Different from sodium hydroxide – makes softer, more soluble soaps. Preferred for specific industrial uses.

Industrial Applications

In soap manufacturing, Potassium Hydroxide 90% makes liquid soaps and soft bar soaps. It converts fats and oils through saponification. Water treatment facilities use it as a pH adjuster to maintain alkalinity. Chemical manufacturers use it to produce potassium salts, pharmaceuticals, and specialty chemicals.

Electronics industry uses it for alkaline batteries. Its ionic conductivity and stability work better than other alkalis. Food processing uses it for cocoa processing and food-grade cleaning.
