Caustic Soda Pearls Supplier & Distributor: Wholesale NaOH 99% Pearls From Türkiye and the UAE

SUHA International Trading is a caustic soda pearls supplier and exporter, not a manufacturer. We buy membrane-grade 99% pearls from chlor-alkali manufacturers, pack them for export, prepare the Class 8 documents and ship full containers from Türkiye and the UAE, with a certificate of analysis for every lot.

Yes. We sell caustic soda pearls wholesale to distributors, traders, re-packers and manufacturing plants, from one full container load upward. The wholesale price is quoted in US dollars per metric ton; one 25 kg bag costs the price per ton divided by 40. Orders of three or more containers, or a contract for regular shipments, are priced below a single container.

Yes. Caustic soda pearls distributors and traders buy on the same wholesale export terms as plants, from one full container, and receive the certificate of analysis, safety data sheet and technical data sheet they need to resell the pearls in their own market.

On our current offers, yes: caustic soda pearls 99% are priced below caustic soda flakes 98–99% on the same Incoterm and packing. Prices move with the market, so compare both forms on a dated quotation for your port.

Caustic soda pearls are priced in US dollars per metric ton and move with the chlor-alkali market, freight and order volume. Current indicative FOB Mersin levels are published on our caustic soda price page. A firm FOB, CFR or CIF quotation is sent within 24 hours of a complete enquiry.

SUHA International Trading has its head office in Dubai and supplies caustic soda pearls in 25 kg bags to all seven emirates, loading at Jebel Ali for Gulf and export orders. Local delivery details are on our caustic soda supplier in the UAE page.

The main uses are soap and detergent manufacturing, textile mercerising and scouring, water-treatment pH control, pulp and paper, oil refining, alumina production, biodiesel and, in food grade E524, fruit and vegetable peeling, olive curing and cocoa processing.

Both are solid sodium hydroxide. Pearls are uniform round beads at 99% minimum NaOH that pour freely, make very little dust and dose precisely in automatic feeders. Caustic soda flakes are thin irregular chips at 98–99% NaOH that can bridge in hoppers and make more dust. On our current offers, pearls are priced below flakes.

Yes. Lye is the common name for sodium hydroxide, and caustic soda pearls are sodium hydroxide in bead form, so lye pearls, NaOH pearls and caustic soda pearls are the same product. The word lye is sometimes used for potassium hydroxide too, so check that the label or certificate of analysis states NaOH and CAS 1310-73-2.

Yes. Caustic soda pearls suit soap making because they weigh out accurately and dissolve evenly. Calculate the amount for each oil from its saponification value, and always add the pearls to water, never water to the pearls.

Wear goggles, alkali-resistant gloves and protective clothing, then add the pearls slowly to cold water in a stainless steel or HDPE container while stirring. Dissolving releases strong heat, so never add water onto caustic soda and never use aluminium, zinc or tin containers, which react and release hydrogen.

Solid sodium hydroxide, including pearls, is classified under HS code 2815.11. The CAS number is 1310-73-2, the EC number is 215-185-5 and the UN transport number is UN 1823.

The minimum order is one full container load, in a 20ft or 40ft container. A 20ft container holds about 25 tonnes of caustic soda pearls, or 1,000 bags of 25 kg; the exact loaded weight is confirmed on the quotation and the packing list.

Caustic soda pearls are packed in 25 kg woven polypropylene bags with a polyethylene liner, either palletised or packed inside jumbo bags. Every bag carries the lot number and UN 1823 Class 8 marking.

Store the bags sealed, on pallets, in a cool, dry and ventilated warehouse away from acids and light metals. Sodium hydroxide does not decompose, but open bags absorb moisture and carbon dioxide and cake, so re-test NaOH and carbonate on stock that has been opened or held for a long time.

Yes. Caustic soda pearls ship as UN 1823, sodium hydroxide, solid, Class 8 corrosive, packing group II under the IMDG Code and ADR. They cause severe skin burns and eye damage (H314) and are corrosive to metals (H290), so they need UN-approved packaging, hazard labels and a safety data sheet.

Yes. The safety data sheet, the technical data sheet and a recent certificate of analysis can be downloaded on this page. That certificate shows NaOH at 99.04% against a 99.0% minimum, sodium carbonate at 0.49%, sodium chloride at 0.02% and iron at 8 ppm. Every shipment carries the certificate of analysis for its own lot.

Each shipment comes with a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or CMR for road, certificate of origin, safety data sheet, dangerous-goods declaration and a certificate of analysis for the lot. SGS, Bureau Veritas or Cotecna inspection at the loading port is available on request.

Standard terms are T/T against shipping documents or an irrevocable letter of credit at sight. The terms and offer validity are stated on the proforma invoice and agreed per contract.
