What is Caustic Soda (Sodium Hydroxide)?

Caustic soda, chemically known as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), is a highly alkaline inorganic compound produced through the chlor-alkali process. This electrolytic method converts sodium chloride solution into a powerful base essential for neutralizing acids and dissolving organic materials.

Key Properties:

• Hygroscopic & Exothermic: Absorbs moisture and releases heat when dissolved

• pH Level: 13-14 (strong base)

• Production Method: Membrane cell chlor-alkali process

• Common Applications: Saponification, mercerization, pulp digestion, pH adjustment
