Safety & Handling
Potassium hydroxide is highly corrosive. Always wear protective gloves, goggles, and a lab coat when handling. Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and incompatible substances like acids.
In case of skin contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention if irritation persists. For spills, neutralize with a weak acid (e.g., vinegar) before cleanup.
FAQs
What is the shelf life of potassium hydroxide flakes?
When stored properly in a sealed container, KOH flakes have a shelf life of 2-3 years. Avoid exposure to humidity to prevent clumping.
Can I use these flakes for soap-making?
Yes, these lab-grade KOH flakes are suitable for saponification. Ensure proper safety measures and accurate measurements for best results.
How do I dissolve potassium hydroxide flakes?
Slowly add the flakes to water (never the reverse) while stirring. The solution will generate heat, so use heat-resistant containers.
