Potassium hydroxide, with the molecular formula KOH, also known as caustic potassium, is a strong alkaline chemical raw material. The melting point is 360~406℃, the boiling point is 1320~1324℃, and the relative density is 2.044g/cm3. Solid potassium hydroxide is white orthorhombic crystal, extremely alkaline and corrosive, and its properties are similar to caustic soda.
After developing in more than 20 years, we are already one of the most important potassium hydroxide suppliers in China.
