Caustic Potash 90% Flake FG (Potassium hydroxide) is a strong base with numerous applications in detergents, food production, electroplating, and manufacturing of other potassium compounds. Caustic Potash is used as a stabilizer, pH adjuster, and thickening agent in foods.
Caustic Potash is an important precursor in detergents and soaps and results in improved softness, greater solubility and higher cleaning power compared to sodium hydroxide-derived soaps. Liquid cleaners and drain cleaners can contain 25 % or higher of potassium hydroxide. Caustic Potash acts as an electrolyte in alkaline batteries and in electroplating.
