Caustic Soda

Description

Caustic Soda (Sodium Hydroxide – NaOH)

Overview:

Caustic Soda, chemically known as Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), is a strong, highly alkaline compound widely used in industrial, commercial, and household applications. Available in solid (flakes, pellets) or liquid form, it is recognized for its powerful ability to dissolve grease, oils, fats, and proteins, making it indispensable in manufacturing and cleaning processes.

Specifications:

• Chemical Formula: NaOH

• Appearance: White solid (flakes or beads); colorless in solution

• Solubility: Highly soluble in water, exothermic reaction

• Purity: Typically 98%–99% for industrial grade

• pH Level: 13–14 (highly alkaline)

• Packaging: Available in 25 kg bags, drums, or IBC tanks

Features:

• Powerful Cleaning Agent: Breaks down organic material and stubborn residues in drains, pipes, and tanks

• pH Regulator: Used in water treatment to neutralize acids and stabilize pH

• Industrial Utility: Essential in the production of paper, textiles, soap, detergents, and aluminum

• Chemical Reagent: Acts as a key base for a wide range of chemical reactions

• Cost-Effective: High reactivity and efficiency allow for low dosages and effective performance

Applications:

• Water Treatment Plants: Adjusts pH levels and precipitates heavy metals

• Soap & Detergent Manufacturing: Used in the saponification of fats and oils

• Petroleum Industry: Cleans storage tanks and refining equipment

• Textile & Paper Industry: Involved in bleaching and fiber processing

• Food Processing (regulated use): Used in washing or peeling fruits and vegetables

Safety Note:

Caustic Soda is highly corrosive and must be handled with protective gear (gloves, goggles). Avoid contact with skin and eyes, and always store it in a dry, ventilated area away from acids.

Questions to Consider:

1. What concentration or form (flakes, pellets, liquid) do you require for your application?

2. Are you using Caustic Soda for cleaning, manufacturing, or pH control?
