Caustic Soda

Description:

Saustic Soda, commonly known as sodium hydroxide, is a highly versatile and widely used chemical. In its flakes form, it appears as white, odorless, and solid flakes. Caustic Soda Flakes are highly soluble in water, releasing heat upon dissolution.

Applications:

1）Chemical Manufacturing:

• Used in the production of various chemicals such as sodium hypochlorite, sodium phenolate, and sodium aluminate.
• Acts as a precursor in the manufacture of organic chemicals like dyes and pharmaceuticals.

2）Paper and Pulp Industry:

• Essential in the pulping and bleaching processes.
• Used to dissolve lignin and improve the brightness and quality of paper.

3）Textile Industry:

• Employed in the mercerization process to enhance the strength and luster of fabrics.
• Used for dyeing and bleaching processes.

4） Soap and Detergent Manufacturing:

• Key ingredient in saponification, the process of making soap.
• Used in the production of detergents and surfactants.

5）Water Treatment:

• Utilized to adjust the pH of water.
• Aids in the removal of heavy metals and impurities.

Safety and Handling:

Caustic Soda Flakes are highly corrosive and can cause severe burns upon contact with skin or eyes. It is crucial to handle this chemical with proper protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, and protective clothing. In case of contact, wash the affected area immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention if necessary.
