Caustic Soda 50% and 98%
What is caustic soda? 🧪
Caustic Soda (NaOH) It is a basic chemical that is important in the industry. It's a deep alkali, used for pH improvement in the action between organic and inorganic, and is a precursor for many chemical manufacturing processes.
The main appearance that is being used in the manufactured are Liquid 50% and Flake 98% which includes:
- Caustic Soda 98% (Flake): is a hard, white, fast-melting-in-the-water, high-dissipating-heat substance, perfect for work for which high alkali and high purity are required, such as chemical, pulp, textile, and wastewater.
- Caustic Soda 50% (Liquid): NaOH is a substance used in the pH improvement process and the work that consistently releases liquid, such as wastewater, petrochemical, and chemical manufacturing.
Industrial application 🏭
Caustic soda is widely used in various industries because it's highly alkaline in its chemical action. The main industries that are used include the following:
1) Chemical Manufacturing
It is used as a reactant in the production of various chemicals such as sodium hypochlorite, sodium phosphate, synthetic dyes, and more.
2) Water treatment
It is applied to adjust pH levels and neutralize acidity in wastewater from both industrial and municipal systems.
3) Pulp & Paper
It plays a key role in the Kraft process, helping separate lignin and produce high‑quality pulp.
4) Textile & Mercerization
It is used in the mercerization of cotton fabrics to enhance gloss, strength, and dyeing efficiency.
5) Soap and powdered detergent
It serves as a core chemical in the saponification process, converting fats into soap and supporting the production of cleaning agents.
6) Petroleum and refinery
It is used to remove acidic substances such as sulfur compounds and to control pH in oil‑drilling systems.
The safety usage control ⚠️
Caustic soda is a high corrosive that is specific uses in the industry. Safety standards are as follows:
- Wear appropriate PPE: heavy‑duty rubber gloves, safety goggles, and chemical‑resistant masks.
- Avoid contact with skin and eyes, as it can cause severe burns or injury.
- Be cautious when mixing with water, as it releases a high amount of heat.
- Store in a dry, tightly sealed area, as it absorbs moisture and CO₂ from the air.

Q&A 💬
Q1: What is caustic soda, and is it the same as lye?
Caustic soda is sodium hydroxide (NaOH), which is also known as lye. It is a strong alkaline substance used in many industrial applications and is available in both 98% flake and 50% liquid forms.
Q2: What is Caustic Soda 98% used for?
It is commonly used in processes that require high alkalinity, such as chemical production, pulp & paper processing, textile treatment, soap making, and wastewater treatment. Its high purity ensures strong performance in chemical reactions.
Q3: What is the difference between Caustic Soda 50% and 98%?
- 50% Liquid: Ready‑to‑use solution, suitable for liquid dosing systems.
- 98% Flake: High‑purity solid form, suitable for applications needing higher concentration and easier transport.
Q4: Is caustic soda dangerous?
Yes. It is corrosive and can cause severe burns. Proper protective equipment is required, and it must be stored in a dry area to prevent absorption of moisture and CO₂ from the air.
Q5: What packaging options are available for Caustic Soda 50% and 98%?
50% Liquid: 25Kg/Gallon, 1500Kg/IBC, 12000Kg/Bulk
98% Flake: 25Kg/Bag
