Potassium Hydroxide Pellets

Potassium hydroxide is utilised in the manufacturing of agricultural grade fertilisers, which may be used as a potassium source for crops that are sensitive to chloride ions. It is also used in the production of soap, hand soap, alkaline batteries, hair sprays, and shampoos.

Molecular Formulae– KOH

Alternative Names– Lye, Caustic Potash

BENEFITS AND USES–

• The pH of the soil is adjusted and regulated using potassium hydroxide.
• It is used to make fertilisers by giving potassium to crops, particularly those that cannot tolerate chloride ions.
• It purifies glycerine, allowing it to be used in animal feed.
• It is also used in herbicides and fungicides, and a mixture of phosphorous acid and KOH can be applied regularly to avoid pests and diseases. In practice, crops treated in this manner will have essentially little pesticide residue on them.
• In addition, KOH is used to wash fruit before it is sold or stored.

HOW IT WORKS-

• It works by adjusting the pH of the soil using its caustic properties.
• It also works as an important source of potassium for various crops.  

TIME OF APPLICATION-

• To get the best results from our potassium hydroxide pellets, use them before the beginning of the growing season.
• During the rain or hailstorm, it should be applied in small intervals.

RECOMMENDED USAGE- 

• It is recommended that 2.5 to 5 kg of our potassium hydroxide pellets should be used per cubic yard.
