£209,00£399,00

CAS number: 1310-58-3
Summary formula: KOH
Molar mass: 56.11 g / mol
Synonyms: caustic potash, caustic potash
Translation [ENG]: potassium hydroxide
Application: Potassium hydroxide is used as a drying and bleaching agent, for absorbing carbon dioxide and in chemistry as a strong base. It is also used for the production of soft potassium soaps, in lithography for making matrices as well as as electrolyte, e.g. in nickel-cadmium batteries. Potassium hydroxide is used to break down the human body during resomation and an aqueous 5% solution is used to identify rhubarb musculature (the pores of the mushroom turn purple).

Hazard pictograms

Labels for hazardous chemicals and mixtures that are part of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). The pictograms recommended by GHS have the shape of a square set on the top. They should contain a black symbol on a white background with a red border.
Priority rules to be observed in connection with the labeling of a substance:
– the skull and crossbones, the exclamation mark pictogram should not be added.
– corrosivity, the pictogram exclamation mark should not be added if it concerns eye or skin irritation.
– health hazard determining respiratory sensitization, the exclamation mark pictogram should not be added if it concerns skin sensitization or irritation to eyes or skin.
