What Is Caustic Soda Used for

Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is an odorless, white crystalline solid that absorbs moisture from the air. Caustic Soda Flakes is white transparent flaky in appearance. It can cause irritation to the eyes, skin, and mucous membrane; an allergic reaction; eye and skin burns, and temporary loss of hair. Workers may be harmed from exposure to sodium hydroxide. The level of harm depends upon the dose, duration, and work being done.

Sodium hydroxide is used to manufacture soaps, rayon, paper, explosives, dyes, and petroleum products. It is also used in processing cotton fabric, laundering and bleaching, metal cleaning and processing, oxide coating, electroplating, and electrolytic extracting. It is commonly present in commercial drain and oven cleaners.

Caustic soda or sodium hydroxide has many different uses, such as clearing drains and making soap. The main uses of caustic soda include its use as a drain pipe cleaner, removing blockages in drain pipes, removing grease accumulated in the oven, and making soap and detergent. It is a multifunctional product that can be placed at home because it has many uses. Sodium hydroxide and chlorine together produce chlorine bleach. The reason the drain pipe cleaner contains sodium hydroxide is that it converts gats and grease that clog the pipes into soap, which then dissolves in water. Make it a very effective drain cleaner. In the soap manufacturing industry, caustic soda is usually used to make solid soaps. Many people now use caustic soda to make soap.

Sodium hydroxide is also used to produce sodium hypochlorite, a water disinfectant. So, for municipal water treatment facilities also use sodium hydroxide to control water acidity and to help remove heavy metals from water.  It has various uses in the industries of wood and paper products, food production, aluminum ore processing and various other industrial manufacturing uses. One of the largest consumers of caustic soda is the pulp and paper industry where it is used in pulping and bleaching processes, the de-inking of waste paper and water treatment.

If caustic soda is in surplus, it can be stored if sufficient capacity is available. But if chlorine is in surplus, it cannot be stored easily and production needs to be cut back if the market for chlorine derivatives is already saturated.
