Potassium hydroxideUses

[Uses 1]

Basic chemical raw materials, used in medicine, daily chemicals, etc.

[Uses 2]

Used as desiccant, absorbent, used to make potassium soap, oxalic acid and various potassium salts, and also used in electroplating, engraving, lithography, etc.

[Uses 3]

Used as analytical reagents, saponification reagents, absorbents for carbon dioxide and moisture, and also in the pharmaceutical industry

[Uses 4]

Mainly used as raw materials for potassium salt production, such as potassium permanganate, potassium carbonate, etc. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used to produce potassium borohydride, spironolactone, saparinol, progesterone and testosterone propionate. Used in light industry to produce potassium soap, alkaline batteries, cosmetics (such as cold cream, snowflakes and shampoo). In the dye industry, it is used to produce vat dyes, such as vat blue RSN, etc. In the electrochemical industry, it is used for electroplating, engraving, etc. In the textile industry, it is used for printing and dyeing, bleaching and mercerization, and is widely used as the main raw material for manufacturing man-made fibers and polyester fibers. In addition, it is also used in metallurgical heating agents and leather degreasing.

[Uses 5] Acid-base neutralization to adjust the pH value of the solution. Basic chemical reagents, carbon dioxide absorbers. Saponifier.
