Potassium hydroxide is an inorganic compound with the formula KOH, and is commonly called caustic potash.
Along with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), KOH is a prototypical strong base. It has many industrial and niche applications, most of which exploit its caustic nature and its reactivity toward acids. An estimated 700,000 to 800,000 tonnes were produced in 2005. KOH is noteworthy as the precursor to most soft and liquid soaps, as well as numerous potassium-containing chemicals. It is a white solid that is dangerously corrosive.
Application
1. Used for electroplating, carving, lithography, etc.
2. Used as raw material for potassium salt production, such as potassium permanganate and potassium carbonate.
3. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used to produce potassium borohydride, spironolactone, saparinol, testosterone propionate, progesterone, vanillin, etc.
4. Used in the production of potassium soap, alkaline storage batteries and cosmetics in the light industry.
5. In the dye industry, it is used to produce vat dyes, such as vat RSN.
6. Used as an absorbent for analytical reagents, saponification reagents, carbon dioxide and water.
7. In the textile industry, it is used for printing and dyeing, bleaching and mercerizing, and is mainly used as the main raw material for manufacturing man-made fibers and polyester fibers. It is also used for manufacturing melamine dyes.

Storage:
Potassium hydroxide easily gets damp and decomposed. Once coming into contact with the air, it will absorb carbon dioxide from the air and become degraded. It should therefore be stored in a dry place with intact packaging to keeep it from becoming damp. And it should be stored and carried separately from any acids. Aluminum, tin, lead, zine and its alloys, explosives, peroxides, ammonium salts,inflammables,etc.Puring transportation it should be protected with covering, handle it with care to avoid packaging damage.
