Caustic Soda Pearls (Sodium Hydroxide NaOH 99%) are smooth, spherical, dust-free alkali beads produced via chlor-alkali electrolysis and prilling. Preferred over traditional flakes for automated dosing, rapid dissolution, and reduced respiratory hazard during handling in soap manufacturing, water treatment, and chemical synthesis.
Technical Description
High-assay solid alkali containing 99.0% min NaOH, ≤0.4% Na2CO3, ≤0.01% NaCl, and ≤0.001% Fe. The uniform micro-pearl geometry provides superior free-flowing handling, minimal caking, and dust-free safety compared to flakes.

Facility hygiene in commercial bakeries, beverage bottling lines, hospitals, and hospitality properties across Kenya is a critical defense line against microbial contamination and regulatory closure. KIKI'S supplies technical surfactants, descalers, and hospital-grade sanitizers that deliver verifiable hygiene standards.
From high-turbidity surface runoff during the long rains in the Tana and Athi river basins to mineral-heavy, high-fluoride volcanic boreholes across the Great Rift Valley, water treatment in Kenya is a demanding technical discipline. Whether treating municipal potable supplies or clarifying industrial effluent for NEMA compliance, KIKI'S supplies certified coagulants, flocculants, disinfectants, and membrane antiscalants.
of Kenya's water treatment plants use chemicals we supply:60%
In manufacturing clusters across Nairobi, Athi River, and Baba Dogo, continuous production depends on reliable supply of process chemicals, boiler water conditioners, and high-flashpoint cleaning solvents. A production stoppage caused by boiler scale or a missing raw material costs millions of shillings per hour. KIKI'S provides the reliable chemical supply that keeps Kenyan manufacturing plants operating at peak output.
manufacturing facilities served across East Africa:200+
In commercial dairies across Eldoret and Nyahururu, tea factories in Kericho, and beverage bottling plants along Thika Road, food chemistry is about safety and uncompromising regulatory compliance. A single contamination event or off-spec acid can spoil a 20,000-liter pasteurizer run. KIKI'S supplies certified food-grade acids, processing aids, and CIP sanitizers with verified batch traceability.

Storage Guidelines
Deliquescent and strongly hygroscopic. Store in original tightly sealed moisture-proof 25kg PE-lined bags in a dry, ventilated area away from acids, reactive metals (aluminum, zinc), and moisture.
Handling Advisory
Corrosive solid (GHS Category 1A). Causes severe skin burns and serious eye damage. Wear heavy-duty nitrile/PVC gloves, face shield, rubber apron, and work in ventilated spaces.
Safety & Chemical Handling Advisory
Safety Advisory
Eye Contact: Immediately flush with running water for 30+ min. Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting; give water and seek immediate emergency medical aid.
