Applications
pH Adjustment
Potassium Hydroxide - Caustic Potash is used to increase the pH of water in both industrial and municipal wastewater treatment processes.
Water Softening
It helps in softening hard water by precipitating calcium and magnesium ions as their hydroxides.
Chemical Neutralisation
Used to neutralise acids in wastewater or industrial effluents, balancing the pH levels for safe discharge or further treatment.
Soap & Detergent Production
Potassium Hydroxide is a key ingredient in the manufacture of soft soaps and liquid soaps, providing high solubility in water.
Fertiliser Manufacturing
It is used in the production of potassium-based fertilisers such as potassium carbonate and potassium nitrate.
Chemical Synthesis
Potassium Hydroxide is an essential reagent in the synthesis of potassium salts, potassium phosphates, and other organic compounds.
Dye & Textile Industry
Used in the dyeing process to neutralise acids and as a cleaning agent for fabrics.
Food Processing
Food-grade Potassium Hydroxide is used in food manufacturing as an acidity regulator and as a leavening agent in certain baked goods.
Olive Oil Processing
Potassium Hydroxide - Caustic Potash is used in the production of olive oil to remove the bitterness in the oil during the refining process.
Cement Manufacturing
Potassium Hydroxide is used to manufacture specific types of cement and in the processing of certain minerals, enhancing the chemical properties of the material.
Construction Chemicals
Used in the production of various building chemicals such as waterproofing compounds and adhesives.
Petroleum Refining
Used in the refining of petroleum products, especially in neutralising acids and removing sulphur compounds during the refining process.
Drilling Fluids
Potassium Hydroxide is used in drilling fluid systems to control pH levels, which is essential for the prevention of corrosion and efficient drilling operations.
