Sodium Hydroxide, Pellets, Reagent, ACS - Caustic Soda
Sodium Hydroxide, commonly known as Caustic Soda, is an essential inorganic compound characterized by its high solubility in water, ethanol, and methanol. When dissolved in water, it generates a highly exothermic reaction, making it vital in various industrial processes.
Key Features:
- Deliquescent Alkali: This substance is adept at absorbing moisture and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
- Versatile Applications: Sodium Hydroxide is extensively used in the manufacture of pulp, paper, textiles, drinking water, detergents, and even as a common household drain cleaner.
- ACS Grade Quality: As an ACS (American Chemical Society) grade reagent, this Sodium Hydroxide meets stringent quality and purity standards, serving as a benchmark for other substances.
