Product Description

Potassium Hydroxide, ACS/Reagent Grade, is a high-purity inorganic base supplied primarily as solid pellets for laboratory analysis, chemical preparation, pH adjustment, neutralization, and chemical synthesis. It is highly soluble in water and is hygroscopic, so packaging and storage should protect the material from moisture.

Typical Applications

• Analytical and reagent laboratories

• pH adjustment and neutralization

• Preparation of alkaline solutions

• Chemical synthesis

• Sample preparation

• Pharmaceutical and chemical research

• Water and wastewater treatment

• Quality-control laboratories

• Industrial chemical processing

Product Specifications

Sigma-Aldrich lists an ACS reagent product at ≥85% assay, pellet form, with potassium carbonate ≤2.0%; TCI similarly specifies white-to-almost-white pellets with minimum 85.0% purity. Exact values should be confirmed against the supplied product's CoA.

Documentation & Supply

• Certificate of Analysis (CoA), subject to supplied product

• Safety Data Sheet (SDS)

• Technical/product specification

• Laboratory and commercial packaging

• Bulk and repeat procurement subject to product availability
