Caustic Soda Flakes CAS 86

About Caustic Soda Flakes

Caustic Soda Flakes, chemically known as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), are a highly versatile and essential industrial chemical characterized by their solid, flake-like form. These flakes are widely recognized for their strong alkaline properties and are produced through the electrolysis of brine.

Common Varieties & Grades

• Standard Grade: Suitable for general industrial use.
• Pharmaceutical Grade: High purity for sensitive applications.
• Technical Grade: For manufacturing and chemical synthesis.
• Electrolytic Grade: High purity optimized for electrochemical processes.

Typical Characteristics

• Appearance: White, solid flakes
• Purity: Typically above 96%
• Solubility: Easily soluble in water, exothermic reaction
• Density: Approximately 2.13 g/cm³ (solid form)
• Strong alkaline nature with a pH > 13

Applications and Uses

Caustic Soda Flakes serve a critical role across a multitude of industries and applications, including but not limited to:

• Chemical Manufacturing: Used in the production of detergents, soaps, and chemicals.
• Pulp and Paper Industry: Assists in pulping wood chips and bleaching paper.
• Water Treatment: Regulates pH and removes heavy metals and acidic components.
• Petroleum Industry: Applied in refining processes for removing sulfur compounds.
• Food Industry: Used for peeling fruits and vegetables and processing cocoa and chocolate.
• Textile Industry: Improves fabric processing by reacting with fibers.

Production Process

The primary method to produce caustic soda flakes is by the electrolysis of brine (sodium chloride solution), yielding sodium hydroxide, chlorine, and hydrogen gas. The sodium hydroxide solution is then concentrated and cooled to crystallize into flakes, which are carefully dried and packaged for distribution.

Quality & Packaging

Caustic Soda Flakes are carefully quality controlled to maintain high purity and consistent physical properties. Packaging formats typically include:

• 25 kg or 50 lb kraft paper sacks with polyethylene liners for moisture protection
• Large woven polypropylene bags with liners for bulk shipping
• Big bags or bulk quantities for industrial consumers

Packaging ensures safety during storage and transportation, protecting the flakes from moisture and contamination.
