Sodium Hydroxide NaOH (Caustic) for sale

Sodium Hydroxide is an inorganic compound vital to many industries. It’s used for industrial applications ranging from paper production to textile development to cleaning agent manufacturing; over 70,000,000 tons are produced each year. It is typically derived as a co-product during the manufacture of chlorine. Its popularity rests largely on its inexpensiveness and its ability to “scrub” gases to effectively remove acids during burning.Sodium Hydroxide Pearl Grade in Standard grade Lye / Sodium Hydroxide / NaOH. Sodium hydroxide, also known as lye and caustic soda, is an inorganic compound with the formula NaOH. It is a white solid, a salt (ionic compound), consisting of sodium cations Na+ and hydroxide anions OH−. Sodium hydroxide is a highly caustic base and alkali, that decomposes proteins at ordinary ambient temperatures and may cause severe chemical burns. It is highly soluble in water and readily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from the air.

Uses of Sodium Hydroxide / Caustic

• Sodium hydroxide is used to produce soaps, rayon, paper, products that explode, dyes, and petroleum products. It can also be used in tasks such as processing cotton fabric, metal cleaning and processing, oxide coating, electroplating, and electrolytic extraction. It is often found in commercial drain and oven cleaners.
• What is sodium hydroxide used for at home?

  

  Sodium hydroxide is useful for its ability to alter fats. It is used to make soap and as a main ingredient in household products such as liquid drain cleaners. Sodium hydroxide is usually sold in pure form as white pellets or as a solution in water.
  USES OF SODIUM HYDROXIDE

  • It is used for making soaps and detergents.
  • It is used for making artificial textile fibres (such as rayon).
  • It is used in the manufacture of paper.
  • It is used in purifying bauxite ore from which aluminium metal is extracted.

  Why is sodium hydroxide used in soap?

  How does sodium hydroxide work in skin care products? Sodium hydroxide can saponify oils. That means it helps the oils and fats lather and foam into a soap. Without it, your soap would be a big mess of various oils and fats that aren’t unified into one product.
