Technical Documentation

Product Overview

Caustic Soda Flakes 99% (Sodium Hydroxide) is a primary industrial alkali chemical. Renowned for its extreme solubility in water and strong basicity, it is indispensable for soap making (saponification of fats), Clean-In-Place (CIP) sanitization in dairy/beverage plants, water treatment pH adjustment, and textile mercerization.

Technical Description

White, highly deliquescent flakes manufactured via the modern membrane electrolysis process. High chemical purity (99.0% NaOH min, Na2CO3 <0.4%, NaCl <0.03%) prevents unwanted insoluble precipitates in aqueous solutions.
