Caustic soda flakes are a white, odorless, and highly corrosive solid substance that is commonly used in industrial and commercial applications. It is produced by the electrolysis of salt water and has a strong alkaline nature.

To get to know about Caustic soda flakes at a glance we must say that this is like Flakes and their color is white and absorbs moisture too much when caustic soda solving in water will make too much heat and remain solvent would be Alkali and highly corrosive.

Caustic soda is used in a wide range of industries, including pulp and paper manufacturing, textile production, soap and detergent manufacturing, and water treatment. It is also used in the production of various chemicals and as a cleaning agent in many applications.

Caustic soda is highly reactive and can cause burns if they come into contact with skin or eyes. Therefore, it should be handled with extreme care and protective equipment should be worn when handling it.

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF CAUSTIC SODA FLAKES

Caustic soda, also known as sodium hydroxide, is a highly reactive and corrosive substance. sodium hydroxide flakes are solid, white, and odorless. Here are some of its chemical properties:

  1. Chemical formula: NaOH
  2. Molecular weight: 40.00 g/mol
  3. Melting point: 318.4°C
  4. Boiling point: 1,388°C
  5. Density: 2.13 g/cm³
  6. Solubility: Soluble in water, alcohol, and glycerol
  7. pH: Highly basic, typically with a pH of 14
  8. Reactivity: Caustic soda flakes are highly reactive and can react violently with many substances, including acids, organic materials, and metals.
  9. it is important to handle caustic soda with care and follow proper safety procedures, as it can cause severe chemical burns if it comes into contact with the skin or eyes.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF CAUSTIC SODA FLAKES

Some of the physical properties of caustic soda include:

  1. Melting Point: The melting point of caustic soda flakes is 318.4°C (605.1°F).
  2. Boiling Point: The boiling point of caustic soda flakes is 1,388°C (2,530°F).
  3. Density: The density of caustic soda flakes is approximately 2.13 g/cm³.
  4. Solubility: Caustic soda is highly soluble in water, and the solubility increases with an increase in temperature.
  5. pH: Caustic soda is highly alkaline with a pH of approximately 14.
  6. Hygroscopicity: Caustic soda is hygroscopic, which means they readily absorb moisture from the air.
  7. Reactivity: Caustic soda is highly reactive and can cause severe burns if they come into contact with skin or eyes. They are also reactive with various metals and can generate hydrogen gas upon contact.

This product of Aras Petrochemical company would be Mercury-free and usable in food industries.

We are producing this product from high-quality Caustic soda liquid that is produced by petrochemical products.

It has a wide application range in producing different chemical products like:

Treatment of food oils, The detergent and soap industry, Papermaking, Oil refining, Revitalizing Ion Exchange Columns

This is produced in two ways and according to the Aras Petrochemical Company production way this product quality would be between 98% till 99%

Caustic soda has an unstable combination if placed against the air will absorb the moisture and carbon of carbon dioxide available in the air, and following this reason must keep in the good condition packing.
