Product Overview & Quality

Product Name: Potassium hydroxide pellets
Grade: Analytical Reagent (AR Grade), providing high purity for standard solution preparation and pH adjustment in laboratories.
Physical Properties: White, odorless solid pellets.
Solubility: Highly soluble in water; dissolution is strongly exothermic (releases significant heat).

Safety & Hazards

Classification: Strongly Corrosive; harmful if swallowed.
Health Risks: Causes severe skin burns and permanent eye damage upon direct contact. Mists or dust may irritate the respiratory tract.
First Aid Measures: Immediately flush affected skin or eyes with plenty of water for at least 15-30 minutes and seek medical attention. If swallowed, rinse mouth and seek immediate medical care; do not induce vomiting.

Handling & Storage

Storage: Must be kept in an airtight container as it is highly deliquescent (readily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from the air). Store away from acids and flammable materials.
Precautions: Always wear comprehensive PPE, including chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and a dust mask. Exercise extreme caution regarding the heat generated when dissolving pellets in water.
