Potassium Hydroxide Pellets (KOH) are solid, highly caustic compounds often used in various industrial and laboratory applications. These white, odorless pellets are a strong base and are known for their high reactivity with water, forming potassium hydroxide solution and heat in the process. They are commonly used in the production of fertilizers, soaps, and biodiesel, as well as in chemical synthesis and pH regulation. Handle with care, as KOH can cause severe burns and irritation.

Agar Agar Powder
Agar agar powder refers to the dehydrated and powdered form of agar agar, a natural gelling agent derived from seaweed. It is made by drying and grinding the agar agar gel, resulting in a fine powder with excellent gelling properties. Agar agar powder is commonly used in cooking, baking, and food preparation as a vegetarian and vegan substitute for gelatin. It is prized for its ability to create firm and stable gels at relatively low concentrations and temperatures. Agar agar powder is versatile and can be used in a variety of recipes, including desserts, confectioneries, jams, jellies, and savory dishes.
Aluminum Carbonate 250g
Aluminum carbonate is a chemical compound with the formula Al2(CO3)3. It is a white, crystalline solid that is insoluble in water. Aluminum carbonate is not commonly encountered in pure form due to its high instability, especially in the presence of water and carbon dioxide. Instead, it tends to decompose into aluminum hydroxide and carbon dioxide when exposed to moisture or acidic conditions.
