Caustic Soda Flakes

Product Details:

Caustic soda prills, also known as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or lye, are a white, solid, ionic compound that is highly corrosive and alkaline: 

• AppearanceCaustic soda prills are microspherical particles. 
• PropertiesCaustic soda prills are highly hygroscopic, meaning they absorb water and carbon dioxide from the air. They have a pH greater than 12. 
• UsesCaustic soda prills are used in many applications, including:
  • Manufacturing soaps, detergents, and paper 
  • Cleaning drains and ovens 
  • Processing cotton fabric 
  • Bleaching and laundering 
  • Metal cleaning and processing 
  • Electroplating 
  • Petroleum refining 
• SafetyCaustic soda prills are toxic by ingestion and can cause severe irritation to the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. They are corrosive to metals and tissue. 
• ProductionCaustic soda prills are produced by solidifying anhydrous caustic soda through a multi-stage evaporation process.
