98.5% High Purity NaOH Caustic Soda Flakes - White Crystals, Industrial Grade

Sodium hydroxide, also known as caustic soda, lye, or flake caustic soda, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula NaOH and a relative molecular mass of 39.9970.
Sodium hydroxide is highly alkaline and extremely corrosive. It can be used as an acid neutralizer, a complex masking agent, a precipitating agent, a precipitating masking agent, a color developer, a saponifying agent, a peeling agent, a detergent, etc. Its applications are very extensive.

1. It is used in the production of papermaking and cellulose pulp; It is used in the production of soap, synthetic detergents, synthetic fatty acids and the refining of animal and vegetable oils.
2. In the textile printing and dyeing industry, it is used as a desizing agent, scouring agent and mercerizing agent for cotton fabrics.
3. In the chemical industry, it is used to produce borax, sodium cyanide, formic acid, oxalic acid, phenol, etc. The petroleum industry uses it to refine petroleum products and it is also used in oilfield drilling mud.
4. It is also used in the production of alumina, surface treatment of metallic zinc and copper, as well as in the fields of glass, enamel, leather making, medicine, dyes and pesticides.
5. Food-grade products are used as acid neutralizers in the food industry. They can also be used as peelers for citrus fruits, peaches, etc., as detergents for empty bottles, cans and other containers, as well as decolorizing and deodorizing agents.

1.Sodium hydroxide has a slight corrosive effect on glassware. The two will form sodium silicate, causing the piston in glassware to stick to the instrument. Therefore, when storing sodium hydroxide solution, a glass bottle stopper must not be used; otherwise, the bottle cap may not be able to be opened.
2. If hot sodium hydroxide solution is held in glass containers for a long time, it will also cause damage to the glass containers.
3.Sodium hydroxide should be stored in a cool, dry and well-ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire sources and heat sources. The temperature in the warehouse should not exceed 35℃, and the relative humidity should not exceed 80%. The packaging must be sealed and must not get damp. It should be stored separately from flammable (combustible) materials, acids, etc., and must not be mixed.
