Product Description
Potassium metal is a highly reactive alkali metal widely used in laboratories for chemical synthesis, research, and educational demonstrations. When stored in liquid paraffin, it remains stable and safe for handling. This AR grade potassium metal from CDH ensures high purity, making it suitable for precise experiments where accuracy matters.
Whether you’re a student conducting experiments or a researcher working on advanced projects, this potassium metal in paraffin provides the reliability you need. The liquid paraffin coating prevents oxidation, extending shelf life while maintaining reactivity when required.
At eqipped, we understand the importance of quality lab supplies. That’s why we source this potassium metal from trusted manufacturers to ensure consistency in every batch. Available in convenient pack sizes—25gm, 100gm, and 1kg—you can choose the quantity that fits your lab requirements.

Safety and Handling
Potassium metal is highly reactive with water and moisture. Always handle it in a dry, inert atmosphere. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from oxidizing agents. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling.
Applications
This AR grade potassium metal is commonly used in:
- Organic synthesis reactions
- Preparation of potassium compounds
- Educational chemistry demonstrations
- Research in electrochemistry
Why This Product Stands Out
Unlike lower-grade alternatives, this potassium metal meets analytical reagent standards, ensuring minimal impurities. The liquid paraffin storage method enhances safety during transportation and storage, reducing the risk of accidental reactions.
For labs that demand precision, this product delivers consistent results. Many researchers and educators prefer this specific formulation for its balance of reactivity and stability.
FAQs
