Types and Grades We Supply

As a professional Caustic Soda Supplier in Uzbekistan, we offer two main grades to meet the needs of various industries — Caustic Soda Flakes and Caustic Soda Pearls. Both forms are produced under strict quality control to ensure high purity, low impurity content, and consistent performance.

Caustic Soda Flakes (NaOH 99%)

Caustic soda flakes are solid white flakes obtained by evaporating liquid sodium hydroxide. They contain a minimum purity of 98–99% NaOH and are ideal for applications that require easy handling and storage.

Key Features:

• High purity and low carbonate content

• Free-flowing and non-dusty form

• Convenient packaging for bulk users

Main Applications:

• Pulp and paper bleaching

• Textile scouring and mercerizing

• Soap and detergent manufacturing

• Water and wastewater treatment

Caustic Soda Pearls (NaOH 99%)

Caustic soda pearls are small, round, and uniform granules of sodium hydroxide. Their consistent size ensures faster dissolution and higher reactivity compared to flakes.

Key Features:

• Spherical shape for uniform dissolution

• High purity suitable for sensitive industrial processes

• Excellent stability and reduced dust formation

Main Applications:

• Pharmaceutical and cosmetic production

• Food-grade cleaning and sterilization

• Chemical synthesis and laboratory use

Both grades are available in 25-kg HDPE bags, jumbo bags, or bulk containers, ensuring flexibility for domestic and export markets.

Industrial Applications and Uses of Caustic Soda in Uzbekistan

The use of caustic soda in Uzbekistan spans multiple industrial sectors, supporting economic growth and manufacturing efficiency. Below are the primary areas where our products are widely used:

1. Textile and Dyeing Industry

Caustic soda is essential for scouring, bleaching, and mercerizing cotton fibers, improving fabric strength and enhancing color absorption. Textile producers in Tashkent, Fergana, and Namangan rely on high-purity NaOH for uniform dyeing and finishing processes.

2. Pulp and Paper Manufacturing

In paper production, caustic soda dissolves lignin during pulping, separating cellulose fibers for brighter, more durable paper. Our caustic soda flakes and pearls are widely used by Uzbek paper mills seeking efficiency and consistency.

3. Soap and Detergent Production

As a strong alkali, caustic soda plays a key role in saponification — the chemical process that converts fats and oils into soap. Leading detergent producers in Uzbekistan use caustic soda flakes (99%) for cost-effective, high-yield production.

4. Water Treatment and Purification

Caustic soda helps neutralize acidity and remove heavy metals in municipal and industrial water treatment systems. It ensures safe and regulated pH levels, protecting equipment and improving water quality.

5. Petrochemical and Refining Sector

Refineries across Central Asia use sodium hydroxide for acid neutralization, desulfurization, and catalyst regeneration. Reliable access to a trusted caustic soda supplier in Uzbekistan ensures smooth refinery operations and compliance with environmental standards.

6. Food Processing and Cleaning Applications

In food industries, controlled concentrations of caustic soda are used for cleaning, peeling fruits, and sterilizing processing equipment. Food-grade caustic soda pearls ensure safety and hygiene under strict international regulations.

Handling, Safety, and Storage Guidelines

Because of its strong corrosive nature, caustic soda requires strict handling procedures:

• Handling: Always wear protective gloves, goggles, and chemical-resistant clothing. Avoid direct contact with skin or eyes.

• Ventilation: Use adequate ventilation systems during usage or dilution.

• Storage: Keep in sealed containers, away from moisture, acids, and aluminum materials.

• Transportation: Transport in HDPE bags, steel drums, or IBC tanks under dry and stable conditions.

Proper handling and storage ensure product quality, safety, and compliance with Uzbek and international chemical regulations.
