Sodium Hydroxide

Sodium hydroxide pellets are a strong alkali used across textiles, pulp & paper, soaps and detergents, water treatment, and chemical manufacturing. Pellets offer low-dust handling, accurate dosing, and rapid dissolution in water to form highly alkaline caustic soda solutions.

These solutions enable efficient saponification, cleaning, neutralization, and pH control in demanding industrial environments. High purity and consistent pellet size help maintain process reliability, reduce contamination, and support automated material-handling systems.

Quick Overview

Sr. No.	Description	Specification
1	Purity	Typically 97–99%
2	Chemical Formula	NaOH
3	Form	White, odourless, deliquescent pellets
4	Country of origin	India
5	Quantities	25 kg HDPE bags, drums, and bulk kg quantities for continuous plants

Physical & Chemical Properties

White, odourless, deliquescent pellets or flakes with a density of about 2.13 g/cm³.
Very soluble in water; dissolution is highly exothermic and produces strongly alkaline solutions (pH 13–14 at low concentrations).
Hygroscopic; absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide to form sodium carbonate on exposure to air.
Non-flammable but highly reactive with acids, some metals (aluminum, zinc, tin), and certain organics.

Applications

Manufacture of soaps, detergents, and cleaners via saponification and soil removal.
Pulp and paper processing, textile mercerization, and oil/refinery treatments.
pH adjustment and neutralization in water and wastewater treatment.
General-purpose reagent in chemical synthesis and laboratory work.

Storage & Safety

Classified as dangerous: causes severe skin burns and eye damage; inhalation of dust or mists is hazardous.
Use alkali-resistant gloves, goggles/face shield, protective clothing, and ensure local exhaust; provide eyewash and safety shower.
Always add pellets cautiously to water with agitation; never add water onto solid NaOH.
Store in tightly closed, corrosion-resistant containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from acids, ammonium salts, and reactive metals.
