Potassium hydroxide is an inorganic compound commonly called caustic potash
Along with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), KOH is a prototypical strong base, It has many industrial and niche applications, most of which utilize its caustic nature and its reactivity toward acids
Industries:
Household chemicals, Fertilizers, Cosmetic industry, Adhesives, oils, greases, Resins, plastics, polyurethanes
Catalyst for hydrothermal gasification process
Precursor to other potassium compounds
Manufacture of soft soaps
As an electrolyte
