Caustic
Soda is used in a wide variety of industrial applications.
It is used as a reactant in the manufacture of other sodium
components which themselves may be intermediate or end
use products, such as Sodium Hypochlorite, having its
use
as a household Bleach and Disinfectant and Sodium Phenolate,
required for making antiseptics and for the manufacture of
Aspirin. It is used in the manufacturing process of Soaps
and Surfactants used in Soap Powders and also in the Textile
Industry to remove containments, as a Bleach in the treatment
of scoured cloth and to improve luster and dye absorption.
CAUSTIC SODA
LIQUID
Caustic Soda Liquid is manufactured commercially by the
electrolysis of brine in electrolytic cells, where 32%
membrane grade and 50% Rayon grade Caustic Soda liquid is
produced.
Caustic Soda (Solid - Flakes)
Caustic Soda (Solid / Flakes) is produced by evaporation
of liquid Caustic Soda solution to the anhydrous
state, and subsequent conversion to either a Solid or
a Flakes form.
