Caustic Potash ( Potassium Hydroxide)

We are dedicatedly engaged in trading, distributing, supplying and manufacturing of Caustic Potash ( Potassium Hydroxide) in Coimbatore ,Tamil Nadu, India. The saponification of fats with KOH is used to prepare the corresponding "potassium soaps", which are softer than the more common sodium hydroxide-derived soaps. Because of their softness and greater solubility, potassium soaps require less water to liquefy, and can thus contain more cleaning agent than liquefied sodium soaps.
As an electrolyte Potassium carbonate, formed from the hydroxide solution leaking from an alkaline battery
Aqueous potassium hydroxide is employed as the electrolyte in alkaline batteries based on nickel-cadmium, nickel-hydrogen, and manganese dioxide-zinc. Potassium hydroxide is preferred over sodium hydroxide because its solutions are more conductive.[18] The nickeli? metal hydride batteries in the Toyota Prius use a mixture of potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide.[19] Nickel iron batteries also use potassium hydroxide electrolyte.
