Dissolved in water or ethanol, potassium hydroxide gives a strong base for acid-base titrations and for saponification, in which fats and oils are boiled with alcoholic KOH to form soap and glycerol — the basis of saponification-value determinations in college labs. Its high solubility also makes it a useful base in organic preparations and for absorbing carbon dioxide from gas streams.
The pellets absorb moisture and carbon dioxide from the air, so weigh them quickly and close the container at once; solutions for accurate work should be standardised against a primary standard rather than made up by weight alone. Dissolving the pellets releases considerable heat, so add them gradually to cold water in a heat-resistant vessel while wearing goggles and gloves.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, sources Potassium Hydroxide Pellets for teaching and testing laboratories and supplies each 500 g pack with its MSDS. Chemistry departments can combine it with acids, indicators and glassware on one enquiry, whether ordering within India or for international markets.

What are Potassium Hydroxide Pellets SCL-933/209 used for?
Potassium Hydroxide Pellets SCL-933/209 are used to prepare strong alkaline solutions for acid-base titrations, saponification of fats and oils, and organic chemistry preparations. The analytical reagent grade suits quantitative work once the solution has been standardised.
What pack size are the Potassium Hydroxide Pellets?
Potassium Hydroxide Pellets SCL-933/209 come in a 500 g pack of analytical reagent grade pellets with an MSDS. A 200 g potassium hydroxide listing is also available for labs that use it only occasionally.
How should Potassium Hydroxide Pellets be stored?
Store Potassium Hydroxide Pellets in a tightly closed, alkali-resistant container in a dry cabinet away from acids, because the pellets absorb moisture and carbon dioxide from the air. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Are Potassium Hydroxide Pellets hazardous?
Potassium Hydroxide Pellets are corrosive and can cause severe burns to skin and eyes, and dissolving them releases heat. Wear goggles and gloves, handle pellets with a spatula, and follow the MSDS supplied with every pack of Potassium Hydroxide Pellets SCL-933/209.
Who supplies Potassium Hydroxide Pellets SCL-933/209?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India supplies Potassium Hydroxide Pellets SCL-933/209 to colleges, schools, laboratories, dealers and importers, sourcing the reagent and sending it with its MSDS.
How do the two Potassium Hydroxide Pellets listings differ?
Both listings are analytical reagent potassium hydroxide pellets in a 500 g pack with an MSDS: SCL-933/209 sits in the chemistry range and SCL410/0115 in the biology range. Quote the product code you prefer; the reagent description is the same.
