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.
Ammonia Solution 2.5litres
An ammonia solution is a solution of ammonia (NH3) gas dissolved in water. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a pungent odor and a basic pH. The concentration of ammonia in the solution can vary, and is typically expressed in terms of percent by weight or by volume.
Ammonia solutions are commonly used in a variety of applications, including cleaning agents, fertilizers, and as a precursor to other chemicals. They are also used in industrial processes such as refrigeration, gas purification, and water treatment. Ammonia solutions can be dangerous if not handled properly, as they are highly corrosive and can release toxic fumes if mixed with certain chemicals
