Caustic Soda Flakes CAS#1310-73-2
Powerful Alkalinity & Saponification Capacity: Strong inorganic alkali with high reactivity, effective for oil removal, saponification and neutralization, rapidly adjust pH value of various water systems.
Excellent Solubility & Heat Release: Dissolves quickly in water with massive heat release, forms transparent alkaline solution, easy to prepare different concentration liquid for industrial use.
Strong Degreasing & Cleaning Effect: Great ability to decompose grease, organic dirt and acidic impurities, widely used in cleaning, textile printing and dyeing, papermaking pulping industries.
Stable Solid Form for Convenient Transport: Flaky solid with uniform texture, low moisture content under sealed storage, easy to weigh, transport and automatic feeding.
Caustic soda flakes, solid sodium hydroxide, is a high-demand basic inorganic chemical raw material, with strong corrosivity and wide coverage of industrial application scenarios.
