How is Potassium Hydroxide stored and distributed?
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat. The temperature of the reservoir shall not exceed 35℃, and the relative humidity shall not exceed 80%. The package must be sealed and protected from moisture. It should be stored separately from easy (can) combustibles and acids, and should not be mixed. Storage areas should be equipped with suitable materials to contain leaks.
What is Potassium Hydroxide used for?
1.Chemical basic raw materials, used in medicine, daily chemical industry, etc.
2.Used as a desiccant, absorbent, for the production of potassium soap, oxalic acid and various potassium salts, also used in electroplating, engraving, lithography and so on
3.It is used as an analytical reagent, saponification reagent, absorbent of carbon dioxide and water, and also in the pharmaceutical industry
4.Mainly used as raw materials for potassium salt production, such as potassium permanganate, potassium carbonate and so on. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used in the production of potassium borohydrin, amperolactone, sarhepatol, progesterone and testosterone propionate. It is used in light industry for the production of potash soaps, alkaline batteries, cosmetics (such as cold creams, creams and shampoos). 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, engraving, etc. In the textile industry, it is used for printing and dyeing, bleaching and mercerizing, and is widely used as the main raw material for manufacturing artificial fibers and polyester fibers. In addition, it is also used for metallurgical heating agents and leather degreasing.
5.Acid-base neutralization adjusts the pH of the solution. Basic chemical reagent, carbon dioxide absorber. Saponification agent.
