Caustic potash / Potassium hydroxide / KOH 15 %

The 15% potassium hydroxide solution is a concentrated alkaline solution used in various areas of the laboratory and industry. In microbiology, it can be used to distinguish yeasts and filamentous fungi by soaking samples in the solution and then examining them microscopically. The higher concentration results in more effective softening and separation of organisms.

In the chemical industry, 15% potassium hydroxide is used in the manufacture of soaps and detergents because it provides good alkalinity for these processes. In the textile industry, it can be used to remove grease and dirt, while in the food industry it is used to regulate pH and as a preservative.

In the laboratory, 15% caustic potash is used as an etchant to remove proteins and grease from glassware or to neutralize acids. In industry, it is used for anisotropic etching of silicon and as an electrolyte. In addition, potassium hydroxide is used as an etching additive in metallography to make certain structures in metals visible. The higher concentration of the solution leads to a more effective etching reaction and better structure representation.
