Sodium Hydroxide – psgchemical

Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic Soda Flakes)

Product introduction:

Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) is a highly caustic and strong inorganic base that appears as white, odorless solid flakes. This substance is highly corrosive and can cause severe chemical burns if it comes into direct contact with the skin.
Therefore, safety precautions must be observed when using it. It is widely used as a key raw material and pH adjuster in various industries.

Features and Benefits:

Strong alkalinity
pH adjuster
Hygroscopic nature (moisture absorbent)
High degreasing performance
High reactivity in chemical processes
Cost-effective and widely used

Applications:

Detergents: Used as a neutralizing agent to adjust product pH within the desired range. Due to its strong degreasing properties, it is applied in a wide range of household and industrial cleaners.
Oil & Gas Industry: Utilized for the removal of acidic components from fuel gases and also used in oil refining processes.
Water & Wastewater Treatment: Applied for controlling the acidity of water and removing heavy metals in municipal water treatment plants. It isalso used in the production of sodium hypochlorite for water disinfection.
Pulp & Paper Industry: Used in pulp production processes and for bleaching paper.
Textile & Dyeing Industry: Used in fiber preparation and impurity removal processes due to its strong alkalinity and degreasing capability, helping improve dyeing performance. It is also used in wool processing and the production of high-quality fibers.
Aluminum production: Used in the extraction of alumina (aluminum oxide) from bauxite ore as a key processing chemical in the production of pure aluminum.
Other Applications: Used in certain industrial cleaners and metal degreasing formulations to remove oils, greases, and surface contaminants from metal parts and equipment, helping maintain operational efficiency and equipment performance.
