Potassium Hydroxide Pellets (KOH)

Product Overview

Potassium Hydroxide Pellets (KOH), also known as Caustic Potash or Potash Lye, is a highly alkaline inorganic compound widely used in chemical manufacturing, liquid soap production, battery electrolyte preparation, and laboratory applications.

With a molecular formula of KOH and CAS No. 1310-58-3, potassium hydroxide is valued for its strong alkalinity, high solubility in water, and effectiveness in pH control and neutralisation processes.

Chemedic supplies Potassium Hydroxide Pellets in Malaysia across multiple pharmaceutical, analytical, and industrial grades, with packaging options tailored for laboratory use, production facilities, and bulk industrial operations.

Typical Applications

Potassium hydroxide pellets are commonly used for:

pH adjustment and neutralisation in chemical processing and wastewater treatment systems

Manufacturing of liquid soaps, detergents, and specialty cleaning formulations

Electrolyte preparation in alkaline and industrial battery production

Laboratory titrations, analytical testing, and reagent preparation

Production of potassium salts, biodiesel processing, and other chemical intermediates

Documentation and Safety

For Potassium Hydroxide Pellets (KOH), Chemedic can provide:

All supplied materials are labelled with product name, grade, batch or lot number, and supplier details to support regulatory compliance, traceability, and internal quality systems.

Important safety note:

Potassium hydroxide is a highly corrosive alkali. Proper handling procedures, appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), and engineering controls must be implemented in accordance with regulatory and workplace safety standards.

Storage and Handling Recommendations

In general, potassium hydroxide pellets should be:

Stored in a cool, dry area away from acids and incompatible materials

Kept in tightly sealed containers to prevent moisture absorption (hygroscopic nature)

Handled using suitable PPE including gloves, eye/face protection, and protective clothing

Used with adequate ventilation and appropriate spill containment measures

Always refer to the SDS and your organisation’s safety protocols for detailed handling and emergency procedures.
