About Caustic Potash Flakes 87%
Caustic Potash Flakes are solid potassium hydroxide supplied in flake form for fast dissolution and predictable alkalinity. Plants choose flakes when they want reliable reaction strength in batch operations and cleaner dosing control, especially where carbonate and chloride limits matter for downstream performance.

Applications
Chemical Intermediates
- ♦Used where controlled alkalinity drives reaction steps and consistent input quality helps maintain batch-to-batch output. Suitability depends on your process and internal approvals and is confirmed during quotation.
Plastic and Rubber
- ♦Used in selected synthesis and processing workflows where alkali strength and impurity control affect product performance. Share your formulation needs during quotation so the right fit can be checked, subject to availability.
Safety & Handling
- ♦Potassium hydroxide is strongly corrosive.
- ♦Avoid contact with skin and eyes and avoid breathing dust.
- ♦Use gloves, eye and face protection, and good ventilation.
- ♦Add flakes to water with care as mixing can generate heat.
- ♦Always follow the SDS for the supplied batch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Reaching Us
Most plants start with assay as KOH and then look at carbonate and chloride because these can affect reaction yield and downstream quality. If your process is sensitive to iron, share your limit. Feasibility can be confirmed during quotation, subject to batch availability.
Carbonate can reduce effective alkalinity and can also influence certain reaction pathways, especially where tight pH control is needed. If you run a process with narrow pH windows, share your carbonate tolerance during quotation so the right batch can be checked, subject to availability.
KOH dissolution is highly exothermic. Plants usually add flakes slowly into water with controlled agitation and cooling if needed. Do not add water to flakes. Your EHS team should follow the SDS guidance for the supplied batch, on request during quotation.
KOH flakes absorb moisture quickly, which can cause clumping and lower handling efficiency. Store bags sealed, dry, off the floor, and limit repeated opening. If you need long storage, mention warehouse conditions during quotation so handling expectations can be aligned, subject to availability.
Buyers usually confirm pallet pattern, liner type, and whether bags are moisture barrier grade because this impacts shelf life and caking risk. These packing details can be shared on request during quotation and are subject to the current lot and dispatch plan.
Use one checklist: assay basis, impurity limits that matter to your process, packaging protection, delivery terms, and what documents can be shared. Final confirmation is best done during quotation and remains subject to availability at the time of order.
