Sodium hydroxide, commonly called Caustic soda, is a common alkali base, massively used in the industry. It's a typical ingredient to increase the alkalinity of a compound or neutralize acids. In the detergent industry, it's usually used to neutralize Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulphonic Acid (LABSA) and to saponify vegetable and animal oils in the soap-making process. It's also utilized to clean and disinfect the detergent production lines as well, for its strong alkalinity.
In addition, Caustic soda is also a common ingredient in formulating strong industrial cleansers. For example, a simple mixture of Caustic Soda with AEO-9 is a very effective heavy-duty cleanser to remove long-built grease and stains in workshops.
Yeser Chemicals partners with two leading Caustic Soda producers through a Third-party Commissioned Production Agreement to supply top-quality Yeser® CSF and CSP at a competitive price, with a capacity of 2,000 MT/ Month.
Features & Benefits:
- High purity up to 99.8%, as produced by a membrane process.
- Super stable quality, as produced by appointed leading producers.
- Steady supply, as guaranteed by long-term supply agreement.
Stability/Shelf life:
Hygroscopic. Air-sensitive.
Must be stored in airtight containers to preserve its normality as it will absorb water from the atmosphere; Follow proper NaOH storage guidelines and maintain worker/environment safety.
Under proper storage conditions, the shelf life of Yeser® CSF and CSP is 24 months.
Recommended dosage:
Depending on application, q.s. to achieve desired result.
