Potassium Hydroxide Liquid
Potassium Hydroxide Liquid is a clear, colorless solution with strong alkaline properties. Chemically, it is highly caustic and reactive, readily absorbing carbon dioxide from the air. Potassium hydroxide (KOH) in liquid form is highly soluble in water and exothermically forms a strongly alkaline solution. It is also soluble in ethanol and reacts with acids to produce potassium salts.

What is Potassium Hydroxide Liquid?
Potassium Hydroxide Liquid, also known as caustic potash solution, is a concentrated aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide (KOH), typically available in concentrations such as 45% and 50%. It is widely used in industrial applications for producing potassium-based chemicals, fertilizers, and soaps, as well as in water treatment for pH adjustment and as an electrolyte in alkaline batteries. Its strong alkaline properties, ease of handling, and precise dosing make it essential for various chemical processes.

Support customize the packaging materials
These containers, known as Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC), are specifically designed for storing and transporting Potassium Hydroxide Liquid. IBC containers are typically made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which has excellent chemical resistance, effectively preventing corrosion from the Potassium Hydroxide solution.
The external metal frame, made of galvanized steel or stainless steel, provides additional mechanical strength, ensuring the stability and safety of the containers during handling and transportation.
The standard capacity of an IBC container is usually 1000 liters (approximately 1 ton), and its modular design makes it easy to stack and store, saving space and transportation costs. These containers are also equipped with sealed lids and bottom discharge valves, making them convenient to operate and use, and ensuring that there are no leaks during transportation.
