Product Introduction:

Sodium hydroxide is highly corrosive and hygroscopic, and can be used as a desiccant. However, it cannot dry sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen chloride gases. It is also prone to deliquescence in the air. Sodium hydroxide is highly soluble in water, with solubility increasing as temperature rises, and it releases a large amount of heat when dissolved.

Sodium hydroxide is commonly referred to as caustic soda, or lye. This is because concentrated sodium hydroxide solutions can corrode the skin upon contact, causing burns. It has a dissolving effect on proteins and is highly irritating and corrosive (due to its ability to dissolve proteins, alkali burns are more difficult to heal compared to acid burns).

Uses of flake caustic soda: papermaking, aluminum refining, tungsten refining, rayon, staple fiber, and soap manufacturing. Additionally, it is used in the production of dyes, plastics, regeneration of used rubber, electrolysis in water treatment, and inorganic salt production.
