About Potassium Hydroxide Solid 90%

Potassium Hydroxide Solid 90% is a white, caustic compound widely used in industrial chemistry for pH regulation, soap and detergent manufacturing, and chemical synthesis processes. Its strong alkaline properties allow for efficient neutralization of acidic solutions and catalysis in organic reactions. Users should handle it with care due to its corrosive nature, employing appropriate personal protective equipment during handling and storage. The product typically arrives in sealed 25kg polyethylene bags, suitable for manual or mechanical unloading and designed to minimize moisture ingress, preserving product integrity in humid climates. Finstar Chemicals supplies Potassium Hydroxide Solid primarily in Kenya and neighbouring markets, supporting bulk and specialized distribution to procurement teams requiring reliable, certified chemical inputs for industrial operations. This grade complies with international shipping standards, including UN Class 8 designation, ensuring safety in transport and warehouse storage. Written documentation including batch analysis and safety data sheets is provided on request to assist quality control and regulatory compliance in manufacturing environments.
