Potassium hydroxide flakes 90 application areas and storage & transportation precautions

Potassium hydroxide flakes 90, in other words, in a 100-gram sample of 90% potassium hydroxide flakes, there are 90 grams of potassium hydroxide flakes. It is solid, translucent, corrosive, hygroscopic, absorbs carbon dioxide and moisture in the air, and is industrial grade. The industrial applications of potassium hydroxide flakes 90 are as follows.

In the chemical field, potassium hydroxide flakes 90 is used as a desiccant and absorbent for the production of oxalic acid and various potassium salts. Potassium hydroxide flakes are the raw materials for the production of potassium salts, such as potassium permanganate and potassium carbonate. Potassium hydroxide flakes 90 is used as an analytical reagent, saponification reagent, and absorbent for carbon dioxide and moisture.

In the dye industry, potassium hydroxide flakes 90 is used to produce vat dyes, such as vat blue RSN. In the textile industry, it is used for printing and dyeing, bleaching and mercerizing, and is used in large quantities as the main raw material for the manufacture of artificial fibers, polyester fibers, and melamine dyes.

Potassium hydroxide flakes 90 is used as a raw material for making detergent soap, shampoo soap, lotion, cream, shampoo, etc. in the daily chemical industry; in the pharmaceutical industry, it is used to make raw materials such as progesterone and vanillin, and is also used to produce potassium borohydride, spironolactone, safranolol, testosterone propionate, etc.; in the battery industry, it is used to make alkaline storage batteries. In the electrochemical industry, it is used for electroplating, engraving, lithography, etc.

Storage precautions: Potassium hydroxide flakes 90 should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. The humidity in the warehouse should not exceed 85%. The packaging must be sealed and must not be exposed to moisture. It should be stored separately from flammable (combustible) materials, acids, etc., and must not be mixed. The storage area should be equipped with appropriate materials to contain leaks.

Transportation precautions: During railway transportation, steel drum packaging can be transported by open trucks. The packaging must be complete and the loading should be safe at the time of departure. During transportation, ensure that the container does not leak, collapse, fall, or be damaged. It is strictly forbidden to mix and transport with flammable or combustible materials, acids, edible chemicals, etc. During transportation, the transportation vehicle should be equipped with leakage emergency treatment equipment.
