Caustic Soda

Caustic soda flakes is a solid form of sodium hydroxide. Caustic soda flakes are free from foreign matter, dirt or other visible impurities. The product is widely used in the textile, soaps and detergents, pulp and paper industries and in alumina refineries. The Caustic soda flake is widely used in a number of industrial processes: Caustic soda flake constitutes an essential reactant in the production of many useful organic chemicals (more than 32 % of caustic production goes into this application). Caustic Soda Flake is uses in, Inorganic chemicals like paints, glass and ceramics and uses in fuel cell production and cosmetics are also very important. The paper, pulp and cellulose industries are major users of caustic soda flake. Other areas where caustic soda flake is essential are: the food industry, water treatment (for the flocculation of heavy metals and acidity control), the soaps and detergents sectors, the textile sector (as a bleaching agent), mineral oils (preparation of greases and fuel additives) and the synthesis of the synthetic fiber rayon. About four percent of caustic soda flake production is used in the process of refining aluminum from its ore bauxite. The remainder of the caustic soda flake production has miscellaneous applications, like the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, rubber recycling and the neutralization of acids.
