LabChem® Potassium Hydroxide, 0.5N (0.5M) In Methanol

LabChem® POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE, 0.5N (0.5M) in METHANOL is a standardized solution of potassium hydroxide dissolved in methanol rather than water, prepared and assayed to an exact concentration of 0.5N (0.5M). Non-aqueous base titrants of this type are used when the analyte or sample matrix is not compatible with water, such as titrations of weak organic acids and fats. Its certified normality provides a reliable reference for non-aqueous volumetric analysis.

It is commonly used as a titrant in non-aqueous acid-base titrations, including saponification value and free fatty acid determination in oils and fats. A pre-standardized solution removes the need to standardize the titrant in-house before each use. This reagent should be handled, stored, and used according to established laboratory safety procedures and the manufacturer's instructions.
