Description
Overview
Caustic Soda Beads, or sodium hydroxide beads (NaOH), are small, white, solid spherical particles. They are highly soluble in water and alcohol and release significant heat upon dissolution. Due to their strong alkaline nature, caustic soda beads are widely used across various industries for their reactive and cleaning properties.
Key Features
- Purity: Typically 99% or higher, ensuring high efficiency for industrial applications.
- Form: Bead-like structure for easy handling, storage, and precise measurement.
- Solubility: Rapid dissolution in water, forming a highly alkaline solution.
- Stability: Long shelf-life when stored properly in a cool, dry place.
- Packaging: Available in airtight, moisture-resistant containers to maintain quality.
Applications
- Chemical Industry: Used as a key reactant in producing soaps, detergents, and various chemical compounds.
- Water Treatment: Adjusts pH levels and removes heavy metals.
- Textile Industry: Utilized in bleaching and dyeing processes.
- Paper Manufacturing: Aids in the pulping process and pH control.
- Cleaning Agents: Acts as a powerful degreaser and cleaner for industrial equipment.
Safety and Handling
Caustic soda beads are corrosive and should be handled with care:
- Wear appropriate protective gear (gloves, goggles, and masks).
- Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.
- Store in a dry, ventilated area away from acids and moisture.
- In case of contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice if necessary.
