POTASH, AQUEOUS Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Aqueous potash, also known as potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution, is a highly caustic and alkaline liquid used in various industrial applications. It is commonly used in the production of soaps, detergents, and as a chemical reagent in laboratories. Potash solution is also employed in the manufacturing of biodiesel, fertilizers, and as a pH adjuster in water treatment processes. Proper handling requires the use of protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, and face shields to prevent skin and eye burns. Storage should be in corrosion-resistant containers, away from incompatible substances like acids. Disposal must follow local regulations to prevent environmental contamination. Aqueous potash is a versatile chemical with significant industrial uses, providing essential alkaline properties for numerous processes.
