Caustic soda in Namibia is a vital industrial chemical, supporting the country’s mining, water treatment, chemical manufacturing, construction, and food processing sectors. Its strong alkaline properties make it indispensable for processes ranging from ore extraction to wastewater neutralization, soap production, and industrial cleaning.

Reliable sourcing of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is essential for operational efficiency and safety, especially in Namibia’s mining-intensive regions like Erongo, Oshikoto, and Otjozondjupa, and industrial hubs such as Windhoek and Walvis Bay. We supply high-purity NaOH in multiple forms, ensuring Namibia’s industries receive consistent quality and support.

Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) Overview

Caustic soda in Namibia is a colorless, odorless, and highly reactive alkali. When dissolved in water, it produces heat and neutralizes acids, forming salts and water. This versatility makes NaOH indispensable for numerous industrial applications.

We supply ≥99% pure NaOH in three main forms to meet diverse industrial needs:

• Caustic Soda Flakes – Solid, white flakes, highly soluble in water, ideal for manual or automated dosing.

• Caustic Soda Pearls (Prills) – Spherical, low-dust granules, excellent for automated systems and precision applications.

• Liquid Caustic Soda (50%) – Ready-to-use solution for high-volume operations, reducing on-site dissolution risks.

Applications of Caustic Soda in Namibia

Caustic soda in Namibia plays a critical role across multiple industrial sectors. Annual consumption exceeds 15,000–20,000 metric tons, with peak usage in mining and water treatment operations.

Mining Industry (Erongo, Oshikoto, Otjozondjupa)

• Ore Processing & Alumina Extraction: Essential for the Bayer process and copper, uranium, and zinc refining.

• pH Control & Effluent Neutralization: Maintains optimal chemical conditions and meets environmental compliance.

• Annual Consumption: 3,000–5,000 tons of NaOH.

Water Treatment & Purification (Windhoek, Swakopmund, Walvis Bay)

• Municipal Water Treatment: pH adjustment and impurity removal.

• Industrial Wastewater Treatment: Ensures safe discharge from mining and chemical plants.

• Heavy Metal Removal: Protects local ecosystems and public health.

• Annual Consumption: 1,500–2,000 tons of NaOH.

Chemical & Petrochemical Manufacturing (Walvis Bay, Windhoek Industrial Zones)

• Detergents, Soaps, and Surfactants: Essential for saponification.

• Polymer & Plastic Production: PVC, polyethylene, and other polymers.

• Industrial Chemical Synthesis: Sodium-based compounds for pharmaceutical and industrial use.

• Annual Consumption: 2,000–3,000 tons of NaOH.

Construction & Building Materials (Windhoek, Swakopmund, Walvis Bay)

• Sodium Silicate Production: Adhesives, cement additives, and coatings.

• Equipment Cleaning: Removes hardened concrete and residues from construction machinery.

• Annual Consumption: 500–700 tons of NaOH.

Industrial Cleaning & Maintenance

• Degreasing & Equipment Cleaning: Refineries, metal processing, and food plants across Namibia.

• Pipeline Maintenance: Prevents residue buildup in oil, gas, and chemical pipelines.

• Annual Consumption: ~1,000 tons of NaOH.

Renewable Energy & Biodiesel Production (Windhoek, Walvis Bay)

• Biodiesel Production: Converts vegetable oils and animal fats into biofuels.

• Supports Sustainable Energy Initiatives: Aligns with Namibia’s renewable energy goals.

• Annual Consumption: 100–200 tons of NaOH.

Agriculture & Food Processing (Walvis Bay, Lüderitz, coastal fisheries)

• Sanitization of Equipment: Ensures compliance in fish processing and agribusiness.

• Fruit & Vegetable Processing: Peeling and preparation for commercial distribution.

• Fish Processing for Export Markets: Maintains hygiene and quality standards.

• Annual Consumption: 500–800 tons of NaOH.

By supplying caustic soda flakes, pearls, and liquid NaOH, we help Namibian industries optimize chemical use, improve efficiency, and reduce operational costs.
