Product Description
Potassium hydroxide (KOH) pellets are a staple in laboratories and research settings due to their strong alkaline properties and high purity. The AR grade ensures minimal impurities, making them ideal for analytical procedures, pH adjustment, and organic synthesis. These white, deliquescent pellets dissolve readily in water, releasing heat and forming a caustic solution.
Common applications include:
- Titration experiments in chemistry labs
- Saponification for soap and detergent production
- Electrolyte in alkaline batteries
- Neutralization reactions in research
When handling potassium hydroxide, always wear protective gear (gloves, goggles, lab coat) due to its corrosive nature. Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container to prevent moisture absorption.

FAQs
What is the shelf life of potassium hydroxide pellets?
When stored properly in a sealed container, KOH pellets have a shelf life of 2-3 years. Avoid exposure to air or moisture to prevent degradation.
Can I use these pellets for soap making?
Yes, AR grade KOH is suitable for saponification. However, ensure proper safety measures as the reaction is exothermic and corrosive.
How do I dispose of unused potassium hydroxide?
Neutralize with a weak acid (like vinegar) before disposal. Follow local hazardous waste regulations for safe disposal.
What is the difference between AR grade and technical grade KOH?
AR grade has higher purity (99%+) with minimal impurities, making it ideal for lab use. Technical grade may contain traces of metals or other contaminants.
