Product Description of Sodium Hydroxide CAS#1310-73-2
Sodium hydroxide, commonly known as caustic soda, has the chemical formula NaOH. It is a strong alkaline compound with highly corrosive properties and is typically available in the form of white flakes, pellets, or granules. Sodium hydroxide readily dissolves in water to produce a strongly alkaline solution and is also soluble in solvents such as methanol and ethanol. Due to its hygroscopic and deliquescent nature, it easily absorbs moisture from the air as well as acidic gases, including carbon dioxide. As one of the most important basic chemicals, sodium hydroxide is widely used across various industries, including pulp and paper manufacturing, textile processing, soap production, chemical synthesis, and the formulation of cleaning products. It is also commonly found in household products such as alkaline drain cleaners.
