What is Potassium Hydroxide 20% Solution? Potassium Hydroxide 20% Solution (chemical formula KOH) is a strong alkaline solution widely used in laboratory, industrial, and chemical applications. It is a clear, colourless liquid composed of potassium hydroxide dissolved in water, with a concentration of 20% KOH by weight. Often referred to as caustic potash, it is a highly corrosive substance that is commonly used as a strong base in chemical reactions. It is known for its ability to dissolve fats, oils, and a variety of organic compounds, and is a critical reagent in the production of soaps, biodiesel, and potassium salts.

High-Quality Formulation: We use only carefully sourced Potassium Hydroxide and blend it with Distilled Water to ensure our customers can safely use it for any application.

Manufactured in the UK: Our Potassium Hydroxide 20% Solution is manufactured and bottled using non-toxic, chemical resistant bottles, providing reliable and trusted quality to our customers.

Frequent Uses

Chemical Synthesis
Commonly used as a strong base in chemical reactions, facilitating processes such as saponification in soap production and in the production of biodiesel.

Titration and pH Adjustment
In laboratory settings, KOH is often used to adjust the pH of solutions or to neutralise acids during titration experiments.

Soap and Detergent Manufacturing
Essential in the production of soft soaps, liquid soaps, and detergents due to its ability to saponify fats and oils.

Biodiesel Production
Used in the transesterification process to convert fats and oils into biodiesel and glycerol.

Cleaning Agent
Due to its high alkalinity, it is employed in the cleaning industry to dissolve grease, oils, and other organic residues in industrial cleaning processes.
