Caustic Soda Powder (Sodium Hydroxide)
Caustic Soda Powder, also known as Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), is a highly caustic, strong alkaline substance widely used in various industrial applications. In powder form, it is highly effective in many chemical and manufacturing processes that require a potent base. It is commonly used in cleaning, chemical production, water treatment, and several other industries due to its powerful ability to neutralize acids and dissolve organic compounds.
- Appearance: White, granular powder
- Purity: Available in high purity, typically 98% or higher
- Solubility: Highly soluble in water, releases significant heat during dissolution
- pH Value: Approximately 14 in aqueous solutions, making it extremely alkaline
- Safety: Due to its caustic and corrosive nature, safety measures should be followed during handling and storage
- Packaging: Available in bags or bulk containers
Storage and Handling
Caustic Soda Powder should be stored in tightly sealed containers to prevent absorption of moisture from the air, as it is highly hygroscopic. Keep it in a cool, dry place, away from incompatible materials like acids, metals, and water. Protective equipment, including gloves, goggles, and appropriate clothing, should be worn during handling. Ensure that storage areas are well-ventilated and that proper safety protocols are followed.
