Product Description
Caustic Soda Flakes are a highly versatile and widely used industrial chemical. With a purity of 98%, these flakes are a powerful and effective solution for a variety of applications. They can be stored at room temperature, making them easy to handle and transport. These flakes have a pH level of 6.0, making them highly alkaline and effective as a cleaning agent. The powder form of the flakes is easy to dissolve in water, allowing for effective use in a range of industrial processes.
Uses: Its used in a variety of applications, including the manufacture of paper, soaps, and detergents, as well as in water treatment, chemical production, and food processing.
Properties: Sodium hydroxide is highly soluble in water, where it forms a strongly alkaline solution. It can cause severe chemical burns and is corrosive to metals.
Handling: Due to its caustic nature, it should be handled with care. Proper protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, is essential when working with it.
Production: Its often produced through the electrolysis of sodium chloride (salt) in a process called the chloralkali process.
