Potassium Hydroxide is a strong alkali used to increase pH and alkalinity of drilling, workover and completion fluids.
The amount required depends on the type and concentration of the mud components, as well as the desired pH increase.
Potassium Hydroxide is available in 25 kg sacks, palletized as 40 sacks per pallet.
