Physical and Chemical Properties:

Potassium hydroxide is usually sold as translucent pellets, which become tacky in air because KOH is hygroscopic. Consequently, KOH typically contains varying amounts of water (as well as carbonates - see below). Its dissolution in water is strongly exothermic. Concentrated aqueous solutions are sometimes called potassium lyes. Even at high temperatures, solid KOH does not dehydrate readily.

Application: 

    1. Used as a desiccant, absorbent, in the production of oxalic acid and various potassium salts, as well as in electroplating, carving, lithography, and other applications.

2. 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, salbutamol, testosterone propionate, etc. Used in the production of potassium soap, alkaline batteries, cosmetics (such as cold cream, snow cream, and shampoo) in light industry. In the dye industry, it is used to produce vat dyes such as vat blue RSN. In the electrochemical industry, it is used for electroplating, carving, etc. In the textile industry, it is used for printing, dyeing, bleaching, and mercerization, and is widely used as the main raw material for manufacturing artificial fibers and polyester fibers. In addition, it is also used in metallurgical heating agents and leather degreasing.

3. Basic chemical raw materials, used in pharmaceuticals, daily chemical industry, etc. Medicine | Education | Online Collection and Sorting

4. Used as an absorbent for analytical reagents, saponification reagents, carbon dioxide, and water.

5. The daily chemical industry is used as a raw material for manufacturing soap for cleaning dirt, shampoo, snow cream, cold cream, shampoo, etc. The pharmaceutical industry is used to manufacture raw materials such as progesterone and vanillin. The dye industry is used to manufacture melamine dyes. The battery industry is used to manufacture alkaline batteries.

Storage:
  Potassium hydroxide easily gets damp and decomposed. Once coming into contact with the air, it will absorb carbon dioxide from the air and become degraded. It should therefore be stored in a dry place with intact packaging to keep it from becoming damp. And it should be stored and carried separately from any acids. Aluminum, tin, lead, zine and its alloys, explosives, peroxides, ammonium salts,inflammables,etc.Puring transportation it should be protected with covering, handle it with care to avoid packaging damage.
