Caustic potash / Potassium hydroxide / KOH 50 %
The 50% potassium hydroxide solution is a highly concentrated, strong alkaline solution used in various areas of the laboratory and industry. Because of its high concentration, it is particularly effective in applications requiring a strong alkaline reaction.
In the chemical industry, 50% potash lye is used to make soaps, detergents and other products that require high alkalinity. In the textile industry, it can be used to remove stubborn grease and dirt, while in the food industry it is used to regulate pH and as a preservative in highly concentrated solutions.
In the laboratory, 50% potash lye is used as a strong caustic to remove proteins and grease from glassware or to neutralize acids. In industry, it is used in anisotropic etching of silicon and as an electrolyte in high-power applications. In addition, potassium hydroxide is used as an etchant additive in metallography to make certain structures in metals visible.
