    Product Overview

    Caustic potash (KOH) flakes 90% for liquid soaps, potassium soaps, fertilisers, and industrial synthesis — supplier in Oman & GCC.

    Detailed Description

    Caustic potash (potassium hydroxide, KOH) supplier in Oman — Global Chemicals LLC stocks KOH flakes at 90% minimum assay in our Muscat warehouse, serving liquid-soap and detergent manufacturers, biodiesel producers, fertiliser formulators (potassium-based liquid NPK), electroplating and battery-electrolyte users, and chemical-synthesis customers across Oman, UAE, Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC. Where sodium hydroxide makes hard bar soaps, potassium hydroxide is the alkali of choice for liquid and soft soaps because potassium soaps stay soluble. We supply industrial grade as standard, with food-grade (E525) available on request for food-processing duties. Every batch ships with Certificate of Analysis (assay, carbonate, chloride, iron) and GHS-compliant SDS; 25 kg bags on shrink-wrapped pallets, with container-load export from Sohar Port.

    Frequently Asked Questions — Caustic Potash (Potassium Hydroxide Flakes)

    Global Chemicals LLC stocks KOH flakes 90% in Muscat with same-day local dispatch, GCC road delivery in 2–7 days, and container-load export from Sohar Port. CoA (assay, carbonate, chloride, iron) and GHS SDS with every batch; 25 kg bags standard, big bags on request. Send your volume and destination for same-day pricing.

    Caustic potash is potassium hydroxide (KOH); caustic soda is sodium hydroxide (NaOH). Both are strong alkalis, but KOH makes soft/liquid soaps (potassium soaps stay soluble) and is required where the potassium ion matters — liquid fertilisers, battery electrolyte, certain esters. NaOH is cheaper per unit of alkalinity and makes hard bar soaps. We stock both, in multiple grades.

    Industrial-grade KOH flakes at 90% assay are the standard for liquid and soft soap saponification, dosed against the saponification value of the oil blend. For personal-care and food-adjacent products, E525 food-grade KOH is available on request with compliance documentation. Our technical team can review your formulation and confirm grade and dose.

    Yes — palletised 25 kg bags move by road to the UAE (Fujairah 2–4 hours, Dubai/Abu Dhabi 3–5 days) and Saudi Arabia (4–7 days) under GCC customs transit, with full export documentation from Muscat. Container-load sea freight from Sohar Port serves Jeddah, Yanbu and beyond.
