CAUSTIC SODA FLAKE
Caustic Soda Flake is a highly versatile industrial chemical, also known as sodium hydroxide (NaOH). It is widely used in various industries, including manufacturing, chemical processing, water treatment, and textiles. Caustic soda flakes are white, odorless, and highly soluble in water, creating a strong alkaline solution. They are essential in processes such as soap making, paper production, and cleaning agents. Known for their effectiveness in dissolving grease, oils, and organic materials, caustic soda flakes offer excellent efficiency in both industrial and domestic applications.
CAUSTIC SODA FLAKE PROPERTIES
Caustic Soda Flake is probably the lesser-known product of the Chloralkali process, which is the electrolysis procedure used to free chlorine (Cl) from the sodium chloride (NaCl) found in salt brine. When chemical manufacturers produce chlorine, they also end up producing a comparable amount of caustic soda, which is in many ways as useful as its chemical counterpart. It is important to recognize that the terms “caustic soda,” “sodium hydroxide” and “lye” all refer to the same chemical compound of NaOH. These terms are used interchangeably throughout the industry and throughout this guide.
- White solid
- Highly caustic
- Strong base
- Soluble in water, ethanol and methanol
- Readily absorbs water (hygroscopic) and carbon di oxide from the air
- Strong electrolyte
- Not volatile, can rise easily in air as an aerosol
- Dissolution of solid caustic soda in water in highly exothermic
Caustic soda is a highly corrosive base or alkaline chemical widely utilized in several different industries. Some common uses include organic chemical production, cosmetic production, soaps & detergent production, paint manufacturing, paper and cellulose, textile bleaching, glass and ceramic manufacturing, food processing, manufacturing rayon, fuel cell production, water treatment, and plumbing (drain cleaners often contain lye). Caustic soda or burning soda is a white solid material with a melting temperature of 1390 ° C and a density of 13.2 g/cm3. Although the melting point of caustic soda is high, the material is highly soluble in water and when it has a light color in solution state. Solving caustic soda in water is an exothermic process. When caustic soda is solved in water, the obtained solution has a high PH and is very slippery. Generally, when caustic soda is solved in water, creates more corrosion.
