Potassium hydroxide is a strong inorganic base used for pH adjustment, neutralization, and saponification in chemical, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical production.
In topical and cosmetic formulations, it is used in carefully controlled amounts to neutralize fatty acids and form soaps or emulsifying agents.
In industrial and laboratory applications, KOH is utilized as a reagent, electrolyte, and cleaning agent due to its high alkalinity and reactivity.
High-purity grades with low chloride, heavy metals, and carbonate are selected for sensitive applications.
Handling requires appropriate corrosion-resistant equipment and strict safety measures.
