Potassium Hydrogen Oxalate, formula KH(C2O4), is a colorless monoclinic crystalline compound with acidic properties, soluble in water and ethanol, functioning as a reducing agent in redox reactions. It decomposes at high temperatures releasing carbon dioxide, commonly synthesized from potassium hydroxide and oxalic acid for industrial purity.
SoleChem, an ISO 9001:2015 certified chemical supplier based in Türkiye, delivers Potassium Hydrogen Oxalate (CAS 127-95-7) to customers in more than 40 countries.
Potassium Hydrogen Oxalate
Applications
Applied in photographic emulsions for development control; in metal polishing pastes for shine enhancement; in dye manufacturing as fixatives; in analytical chemistry for standard solutions; and in leather tanning for pH adjustment in hide preparation.
Safety & Risks
Toxic if swallowed, causing hyperoxaluria and potential renal failure; strong irritant to mucous membranes. Avoid contact with oxidizers to prevent violent decomposition; implement fume extraction and full-face shields for safe manipulation in confined spaces.
Packaging
Packaged in 20 kg vented fiberglass-reinforced plastic bins with moisture indicators. Secure in ventilated chemical depots, elevated to avoid floor-level contamination risks.
