Potash lye / potassium hydroxide / KOH 30 %
The 30% potassium hydroxide solution is a highly concentrated alkaline solution used in various areas of the laboratory and industry. Because of its strong alkalinity, it is particularly effective when an intense alkaline reaction or high pH is required.
In microbiology, 30% potassium hydroxide solution can be used to distinguish yeasts and filamentous fungi by soaking samples in the solution and then examining them microscopically.
In the chemical industry, 30% potassium hydroxide solution is used in the manufacture of soaps and detergents where strong alkalinity is required. In the textile industry, it is used to remove grease and dirt, while in the food industry it can be used to regulate pH and as a preservative.
In the laboratory, 30% potash lye is used as a strong caustic to remove proteins and grease from glassware or to neutralize acids. In addition, it can be used in the metal industry to etch silicon and as an electrolyte.
