Basic Information

Sodium hydroxide
caustic soda
NaOH
white flake/granular form

Sodium hydroxide, also known as caustic soda, is a strongly alkaline industrial chemical supplied in forms such as white flakes or granules. It absorbs atmospheric moisture and carbon dioxide and releases substantial heat when dissolved in water. Typical applications include pulp and paper processing, textile treatment, soap manufacture, industrial cleaning and chemical synthesis. Its corrosivity requires compatible processing equipment and controlled handling.

product description

Sodium Hydroxide for Industrial Use: Sodium hydroxide (NaOH, CAS 1310-73-2), also known as caustic soda, is a strongly alkaline chemical used in chemical manufacturing, pulp and paper processing, textiles, soaps, and industrial cleaning.


Moisture and Carbon Dioxide Absorption: Solid sodium hydroxide is deliquescent, absorbing atmospheric moisture and eventually dissolving. It also reacts with carbon dioxide to form sodium carbonate, reducing product purity. These properties require protection during storage.


Water Solubility and Heat Release: Sodium hydroxide dissolves readily in water, releasing substantial heat. Improper dilution can cause rapid heating and corrosive splashing. Dilution must follow approved procedures with suitable equipment and protective measures.


Strong Corrosivity: Sodium hydroxide causes severe skin burns and eye damage. Dust or mist can injure the respiratory tract. Use appropriate ventilation, chemical-resistant gloves, protective clothing, and eye and face protection according to the SDS.


Chemical Incompatibility: Contact with acids can produce a vigorous exothermic reaction. Sodium hydroxide also reacts with certain metals, including aluminum and zinc, releasing flammable hydrogen gas. Use compatible handling equipment and containers.


Packaging and Storage: Store in tightly closed, compatible containers in a dry, designated corrosives storage area. Protect solid products from moisture and carbon dioxide, and keep separate from acids and incompatible materials. Product form, concentration, purity, and packaging should be confirmed before ordering.

Products Description of Sodium hydroxide CAS#1310-73-2

Caustic Soda (Sodium Hydroxide, NaOH) is a versatile industrial strong base. Available in white flake/granular form, it is corrosive, hygroscopic, soluble in water and alcohols, and absorbs atmospheric moisture and CO₂. It finds broad use in textiles, paper pulp, soap making and household cleaning.


Product Application of Sodium hydroxide CAS#1310-73-2
