At 600g\/L it delivers the working strength of a 400g\/L potassium hydroxide solution — without the caustic handling problems. It's classified as a non-dangerous good, so there are no special freight, storage or handling requirements, and it's much safer to use and more environmentally friendly than hydroxide-based pH ups.
