Liquid Caustic Soda
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Liquid Caustic Soda is a 50% sodium hydroxide solution, clear and viscous alkaline liquid, highly corrosive and miscible with water, manufactured through electrolytic processes for industrial-grade purity. It serves as a strong base for neutralization and saponification, with controlled viscosity for safe handling in bulk operations as referenced in Sigma-Aldrich alkali specifications and ChemSpider solubility data.
Liquid Caustic Soda
APPLICATIONS
Used in pulp and paper for delignification; in soap production for fat hydrolysis; in water treatment for pH elevation; in textile mercerization for cotton strengthening; and in petroleum refining for desulfurization in large-scale facilities.
SAFETY & RISKS
Causes severe burns on contact with skin or eyes; inhalation of mists leads to lung damage. High reactivity with acids produces heat; use full PPE including face shields; emergency neutralization with vinegar required per PubChem safety protocols.
PACKAGING
Delivered in 200 liter HDPE tanks with reinforced seals to prevent leaks during transport. Keep in bunded storage areas with corrosion-resistant flooring, labeled for hazardous material handling.
