Caustic soda

Caustic soda, caustic soda, caustic sodium, caustic soda, caustic alkali, sodium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, Caustic soda - all synonyms of the same material - sodium hydroxide (sodium hydroxide).

Caustic soda is one of the most common alkalis in the world. The chemical formula is NaOH.

This material is widely used in various types of production due to its strong alkaline properties.

Areas of application:

          • chemical industry,
          • petrochemical industry,
          • pulp and paper industry,
          • medical,
          • food processing industry,
          • non-ferrous metallurgy,
          • textile industry (production of viscose silk, bleaching of textiles),
          • aniline paint industry,
          • soap making,
          • pulp and paper industry (paper pulp processing),
          • production of aluminum and sodium metal,
          • glass industry,
          • production of alkaline batteries,
          • water treatment processes
          • in other areas of the national economy.

  • In the chemical industry, caustic soda is used for the production of organic dyes, synthetic phenol, glycerol, insecticides, various chemicals and intermediates, medicines, plastics, etc.,
  • It is widely used for the purification of oil, petroleum products and mineral oils.
  • In ferrous metallurgy, it is used to remove sulfur from steel .
  • Caustic soda is used to degrease tools, containers and equipment for production in the food industry. The food additive E524, containing NaOH, is added, for example, to ice cream, caramel and drinks.
  • For chemical production, caustic is a universal catalyst used in detergents and oils.
  • The use in the defense sector is due to the ability of soda to neutralize carbon dioxide. Lye is used in breathing apparatus.
  • Alkaline batteries and biofuels in mechanical engineering are made using caustic soda.
  • The property of NaOH to split paper has found application in the production of cardboard.

As you can see, the use of caustic soda, caustic alkali is very common, and modern industry is impossible without such a material as caustic soda.

When using caustic soda, it is necessary to remember the safety rules, since a strong concentration of the material in contact with the skin and other tissues of the body causes severe chemical burns.

Rules for storing caustic Soda: always in a sealed, properly labeled container, usually in bags of 25 kg. It is forbidden to store in containers with the use of aluminum, since the reaction with aluminum caustic soda produces flammable hydrogen gas.

Be sure to use caustic soda or caustic soda in well-ventilated areas. Workers should use protective clothing and appliances, avoid inhaling dust, caustic soda, caustic alkali.
