Product Description of Caustic Soda Flakes CAS#1310-73-2
Caustic soda flakes, also known as sodium hydroxide, is a strong inorganic alkali with high purity and stable quality. It appears as white translucent flaky solids under normal temperature. This product is manufactured under strict quality control to keep low impurity content and consistent alkalinity. It reacts readily with acids, fats and acidic oxides, and is one of the most fundamental bulk chemicals for global manufacturing. Our grade meets standard industrial specifications and can support bulk shipment for overseas buyers.
Caustic Soda Flakes Chemical Properties
Sodium hydroxide is highly hygroscopic and deliquescent in humid air, easily absorbing moisture and carbon dioxide to form sodium carbonate. It is freely soluble in water and ethanol, insoluble in acetone and ether. Its aqueous solution shows strong alkalinity and corrosiveness. The substance reacts violently with acids to produce salt and water, and can saponify animal and vegetable oils. It has a high melting point and will not decompose under regular storage temperature.
Products Application
It serves as pH regulator and precipitant in wastewater treatment to remove heavy metal ions. In textile industry, it is used for mercerizing cotton fabrics. It is the core raw material for soap and detergent production via saponification reaction. It also applies in biodiesel synthesis, alumina production, oil well drilling mud adjustment and chemical intermediate manufacturing.
