Potassium Hydroxide Flakes Lr 500g Griffchem

Also known as caustic potash or potash lye, potassium hydroxide is strongly caustic. Its uses in the laboratory and industry include bleaching, electro-plating and herbicides.

Instead of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide is commonly used to make liquid soap than bar soap because it is more soluble and has a higher content of cleaning agent, creating a softer soap.
