Technical Description & Product Overview
Caustic Soda Flakes are a high-purity form of sodium hydroxide (NaOH), a strong alkaline chemical widely used as a pH regulator, cleaning agent and chemical processing raw material. It is commonly used in soap and detergent manufacturing, sugar processing, industrial cleaning, water treatment, textile processing, pulp and paper production, chemical manufacturing and various formulation processes. In soap production, caustic soda reacts with oils and fats through saponification to produce hard soaps. The product is typically supplied as white, highly hygroscopic flakes that readily dissolve in water, generating significant heat during dissolution. Chemical name: Sodium Hydroxide | Formula: NaOH | CAS No.: 1310-73-2 | Typical purity: 98–99% min. Caustic soda is highly corrosive and should be handled, stored and transported in accordance with the applicable SDS and appropriate chemical-safety requirements.
