Caustic Soda NaOH liquid 48%
Caustic soda has many names, including sodium hydroxide, NaOH, caustic soda, sodium hydroxide. In the market caustic soda is sold in the form of flake solids (flakes) and also in liquid form. Liquid caustic soda is made by dissolving caustic soda flake in water (aquades) up to a concentration of 48%. The dissolution of coustic soda in water is exothermic (generates heat), resulting in vapor that is corrosive and irritating to the respiratory tract. Therefore, many customers want liquefied NaOH (liquid NaOH) because of the difficulty in dissolving itself.
Liquid caustic soda is one of the strongest bases that is corrosive and reactive, and is a clear liquid and has no odor. The following are the uses of liquid NaOH in daily or industrial use:
1. NaOH is often used in the regeneration process of anion resins in anion exchangers, in mineral water production units or purified water.
2. To control the level of acidity or pH in water, NaOH is able to control it in the water treatment process or water treatment.
3. In household use, NaOH is able to expedite the drain from the kitchen or bathroom that is clogged. NaOH can react with oil or grease causing ducts to clog. And soap and hot reactions are formed, so that the channel becomes smooth again.
4. In the oil and gas industry, NaOH can control alkalinity and pH, and is able to decompose organic materials. NaOH is also able to remove impurity gases, namely sulfur compounds and carbon dioxide.
5. In the health sector, NaOH is used in the manufacture of various drugs and pharmaceutical products such as anticoagulants, drugs to lower cholesterol in the blood and painkillers.
