APPLICATIONS OF CAUSTIC SODA FLAKES
Caustic soda flakes (sodium hydroxide) are widely used in numerous industrial applications due to their strong alkaline properties. In the soap and detergent industry, they are essential for saponification, the chemical reaction that turns fats and oils into soap, while also improving cleaning efficiency in detergents. In the textile sector, caustic soda is used in mercerization and scouring, enhancing fabric strength, luster, and dye absorption. The paper and pulp industry utilizes it for pulping and bleaching processes. It is also applied in water treatment to control pH levels, and in the petrochemical sector for refining and chemical manufacturing. Additionally, it plays a role in pharmaceuticals, food processing, and metal cleaning, making it a critical raw material across diverse manufacturing fields.
1. SOAP MANUFACTURING
Caustic soda flakes play a crucial role in the saponification process, which converts fats and oils into soap. It enhances the quality, texture, and cleansing properties of soap products, making it an indispensable ingredient in soap production.
2. TEXTILE INDUSTRY
In textile processing, caustic soda is used for mercerization, a treatment that strengthens fabric fibers and improves dye absorption. It also assists in scouring, removing natural oils, waxes, and impurities from raw fibers, ensuring high-quality fabric production.
3. DETERGENT PRODUCTION
