What Is Sodium Hydroxide?
Sodium Hydroxide is a strong alkaline compound with the chemical formula NaOH and CAS Number 1310-73-2. It is commonly known as Caustic Soda.
Sodium Hydroxide is highly soluble in water and releases heat when dissolved. Because of its strong alkalinity and excellent chemical reactivity, it is widely used for pH adjustment, neutralization, chemical processing, cleaning, and manufacturing.
Sodium Hydroxide is available commercially in several forms, with 99% Caustic Soda Flakes and Caustic Soda Pearls being common choices for industrial applications. Liquid Sodium Hydroxide solutions are also widely used in continuous industrial processes.
