Potassium Hydroxide Flakes Laboratory Supply Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-CA-12666

The Potassium Hydroxide Flakes product is a corrosive inorganic base reagent used for controlled alkali chemistry, pH demonstrations, neutralisation work, solution preparation, and supervised chemical-analysis procedures. It is suitable for trained chemistry teachers, laboratory technicians, authorised school and college laboratories, distributors, and procurement teams requiring verified assay, SDS review, and dry-storage handling.

Product Description

Potassium Hydroxide Flakes from School Equipments India is prepared for the laboratory chemicals, chemical-analysis reagents, and inorganic base reagents category. A direct verified product page for this exact chemical was not found, so grade, assay, flake size, pack size, container type, SDS, COA, batch number, and expiry or retest date must be confirmed before catalogue upload or ordering.

Potassium hydroxide is also known as caustic potash or potassium hydrate. It has the formula KOH and CAS number 1310-58-3. The flake form is hygroscopic and deliquescent, so it absorbs moisture from air and must be kept tightly closed in compatible dry storage.

Key Features

• Corrosive alkali reagent: suitable for approved procedures where potassium hydroxide is specifically required.
• Formula KOH: useful for molarity, alkalinity, neutralisation, and pH-related calculations.
• Flake format: convenient for controlled weighing and solution preparation with dry tools.
• Highly water-soluble: dissolves readily but releases heat during solution preparation.
• Dry-storage requirement: flakes absorb moisture and carbon dioxide from air if left open.
• Procurement-safe listing: unverified pack size, assay, grade, and documentation are marked for confirmation.

How to Use the Potassium Hydroxide Flakes

1. Read the current SDS, COA, product label, and laboratory risk assessment before use.
2. Confirm grade, assay, flake size, and method suitability before weighing or dispensing.
3. Wear chemical splash goggles, compatible gloves, and a lab coat before handling.
4. Use clean, dry tools and take only the quantity required by the approved procedure.
5. For solution preparation, add flakes slowly to water with stirring and cooling; never add large portions at once.
6. Keep away from acids, water exposure during storage, metals when wet, halogenated hydrocarbons, and incompatible chemicals.
7. Label prepared solutions with name, concentration, date, preparer, and corrosive hazard information.
8. Collect residues and contaminated materials according to institutional corrosive chemical-waste procedures.

Safety note: Potassium hydroxide flakes are corrosive and can cause severe burns. Students should use this reagent only under trained teacher or laboratory-technician supervision with eyewash and emergency washing facilities available.

Care & Maintenance

• Store tightly closed in a dry, labelled, corrosive-compatible chemical-storage area.
• Keep away from acids, moisture, carbon dioxide exposure, reactive metals, food items, and unauthorised users.
• Use clean, dry dispensing tools to prevent contamination, caking, and caustic solution formation.
• Dispose of contaminated, leaking, unlabelled, or expired reagent through approved hazardous-waste procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Potassium Hydroxide Flakes used for in a laboratory?

Potassium Hydroxide Flakes are used for authorised base-chemistry demonstrations, pH work, neutralisation practicals, solution preparation, and chemical-analysis procedures where KOH is specifically required.

What is the CAS number of potassium hydroxide?

The CAS number of potassium hydroxide is 1310-58-3. This number should be used to match the SDS, COA, product label, and procurement record.

What is the formula of potassium hydroxide?

The formula of potassium hydroxide is KOH, also written as HKO in some databases. Its molecular weight is about 56.1 g/mol.

Are potassium hydroxide flakes hygroscopic?

Yes. Potassium hydroxide flakes absorb moisture and carbon dioxide from air, so the container should remain tightly closed and stored in a dry area.

Can Potassium Hydroxide Flakes be used in school laboratories?

Yes, but only in supervised school and college laboratories when teachers or technicians control PPE, weighing, solution preparation, labelling, storage, and corrosive-waste disposal.

What documents should be confirmed before ordering?

Confirm the SDS, COA, grade, assay, pack size, flake size, batch number, expiry or retest date, hazard label, and final packaging before ordering.
