- Description
Potassium hydroxide (KOH) flake, also known as caustic potash, is a high-purity dry pH-up agent used to raise pH in hydroponic and fertigation systems. With a minimum of 90% KOH and a fertilizer grade of 0-0-75, it delivers the highest potassium concentration of any common dry pH-up agent. The 1 lb. size is ideal for small-scale use, lab work, or first-time users evaluating KOH for stock solution preparation.
Why Potassium Hydroxide for pH Up?
KOH reacts rapidly and exothermically with water, making it highly effective for aggressive pH correction and building high-concentration stock solutions. Every dose contributes potassium — a primary macronutrient — directly to your nutrient solution.
