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.
