What is potassium hydroxide (KOH) 48% and where is it used?
KOH 48% is a clear, colourless potassium hydroxide solution (CAS 1310-58-3). As a strong inorganic base it is used in liquid soap and detergents, potassium salts, fertilizer, biodiesel transesterification and water treatment, and for pH adjustment and neutralization.
What is the difference between 48% KOH solution and 90% KOH flake?
Both are the same substance (CAS 1310-58-3); the difference is the form. KOH 48% is a liquid solution that is easy to dose (UN 1814). KOH 90% is a solid white flake/pellet at higher concentration, which is more efficient to ship and store (UN 1813).
How is 48% KOH solution stored?
KOH 48% is stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area in corrosion-resistant containers (PE or stainless steel). It must be protected from freezing and from atmospheric CO2. Its shelf life is 12 months, and it can be transported by road and sea under UN 1814.
What are the typical purity and impurity values for 48% KOH?
The product contains a minimum of 48% KOH. Typical impurity limits are chloride (Cl) max 0.002%, sodium (Na) max 0.4% and iron (Fe) max 0.0002%. The full specification and a certificate of analysis (CoA) are provided by KORKİMYA on request.
