- Stability
- Atmospheric moisture and carbon dioxide reacts readily with KTA to produce potassium hydroxide and potassium carbonate. Tertiary amyl alcohol is liberated from these reactions. It develops yellow to brown color solution after reacting with water. KTA solution should be stored in a cool place away from heat, sparks and flame.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Sampling Instructions
- The product is packed under dry nitrogen with positive pressure of nitrogen inside the drum.
- The quality of the product deteriorates very fast if exposed to atmosphere even for a brief period.
- While sampling, please ensure that the sample is taken out under dry nitrogen in a preweighed stoppered bottle and analysis is done immediately.
- After sampling, tie the bag securely with thread, put positive nitrogen pressure in the drum and tighten it properly. This is very important so that the product does not deteriorate on storage.
