Sodium hydroxide, commonly known as caustic soda, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula NaOH. It is white crystals at room temperature, generally in the form of flakes or pearls. It is deliquescent and easily absorbs water vapor (deliquescent) and carbon dioxide (deterioration) in the air, so we can add hydrochloric acid to check whether it has deteriorated. As a commonly used alkali, caustic soda is one of the essential chemicals in chemical laboratories. And its solution can be used as a washing liquid.
Caustic soda forms an alkaline solution in water, has strong alkalinity, can react with acids to produce salt and water, and release a lot of heat. In particular, this chemical has a strong corrosive effect on fibers, skin, glass, ceramics, etc.

The Main Applications of Caustic Soda 99% min
As an important inorganic compound, caustic soda for sale has many applications in different fields, for example, it is suitable for water treatment and softening, oil field drilling mud, petroleum product refining, sanitation, hygiene products. It can also be used as a raw material for the production of soaps, detergents, textiles and paper. In addition, it is also used as a pigment for acidity regulators, alkalis, impregnating agents.
- Adjusting acid-base balance. This chemical can be used as an acid-base indicator, which can neutralize many acidic substances and help adjust the acid-base balance. It is also a neutralizer for many acidic wastes.
- Cleaning agent. It is widely used for cleaning and removing dirt. It can be used to clean blockages in pipes, ovens and drainage systems. In addition, sodium hydroxide can also be used to remove grease and dirt from polar organic matter.
- Making soap. 99% caustic soda is also one of the indispensable raw materials for making soap. It reacts with grease or fatty acids to produce soap and glycerin.
- Papermaking. This product can be used for making paper and cellulose products. At the same time, caustic soda is also used to bleach pulp and remove impurities from wood fibers.
- Water treatment. Sodium hydroxide can be used to adjust the pH value of water to industrial or drinking water standards. It can neutralize acidic water and remove heavy metal ions from water.
- Food processing. Food grade caustic soda can be used as acid neutralizer in food industry, peeling agent for citrus, peaches, etc., as well as detergent for empty bottles and cans, as well as decolorizer and deodorizer.
- Chemical manufacturing. It is an important raw material for many chemicals, including sodium sulfate, caustic soda and sodium chlorate. These chemicals have a wide range of applications in industrial production, pharmaceuticals and agriculture.
There are two main methods for industrial production of sodium hydroxide: causticizing and electrolysis.
Causticizing. It is divided into soda ash causticizing and natural alkali causticizing according to the raw materials, and sodium hydroxide is produced through chemical reactions.
The electrolysis method can be divided into diaphragm electrolysis and ion exchange membrane method. By electrolyzing saturated salt water solution, chlorine is generated on the anode and sodium hydroxide solution is generated on the cathode.
