About Potassium Hydroxide

Potassium hydroxide is an inorganic chemical generated by the interaction of potassium carbonate with calcium hydroxide. It is also known as lye or potash lye. It is non-flammable yet very corrosive, with a low melting point. It is used in the production of soft soap, the food sector, chemical manufacture, and petroleum refining. KOH, like sodium hydroxide, is an archetypal strong base with a wide range of industrial uses. It is used to make soft and liquid soaps, as well as potassium-containing compounds.
