Products In This Collection
This collection includes sodium hydroxide flakes, 5%-50% sodium hydroxide solutions, Technical Grade, ACS Grade, and membrane-grade caustic soda options. Choose product form and concentration based on handling requirements, dilution needs, and process specification.
Common Applications
-
pH adjustment and neutralization: Caustic soda is used to raise pH and neutralize acidic streams in water treatment and industrial processes.
-
Alkaline cleaning: Sodium hydroxide removes fats, oils, organic soils, and process residues in compatible cleaning systems.
-
Soap and chemical manufacturing: NaOH is a core feedstock for saponification, detergents, and a wide range of chemical reactions.
-
Precision cleaning and etching: High-purity caustic solutions support specialized optical, glass, and component cleaning workflows.
Grade & Selection Notes
Choose flakes when dry storage and custom dilution are needed. Choose prepared solutions when you need faster setup, controlled concentration, or reduced solid-handling risk. Use ACS Grade for reagent work and Technical or membrane grade for industrial production.
Safety & Handling
Sodium hydroxide is highly corrosive, and dilution releases heat. Add caustic slowly to water with mixing and cooling as needed. Wear chemical-resistant gloves, face and eye protection, and use compatible containers. Review the Safety Data Sheets before use and follow your site-specific handling procedure.
