Uses for Liquid Potassium Hydroxide, 45%
Oil industry workers use liquid potassium hydroxide (KOH, caustic potash) to:
- Control pH: When added to drilling fluids, KOH helps manage the fluid’s pH balance, allowing it to function properly. The chemical mixture also has an extremely low freezing point, which allows it to be used in temperature-sensitive environments.
- Stabilize clay: Liquid potassium hydroxide can prevent clay minerals from swelling and creating wellbore issues.
Using liquid potassium hydroxide for these purposes can greatly improve the performance of your drilling equipment and speed the oil extraction process.
