The
big problem is
that the shipping description does not define the components, only the
identity
of the major hazard.
I know
of several
instances that potassium hydroxide is used to neutralize organic acids
which are
then overbased for product stability. The "proper" shipping
description of
this mixture is potassium hydroxide solution. But if it is used as
a
description such as in the case here... It may be less than 1%
free
KOH.
