### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent!!!
*by T***Y on January 11, 2026*

Excellent product and fast shipping

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked Well for My Electrolysis Demonstration
*by J***S on May 13, 2024*

This potassium hydroxide product worked well to demonstrate the decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen gas through electrolysis. Anyone handling chemicals like this should know to always add this product to the water and not the reverse because the possibility of "flashing" the solution explosively. If I need any more in the future, I would not hesitate to buy this product again.
