Sodium Hydroxide (50%, prime)
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH), also known as caustic soda or lye, is a highly caustic chemical that is commonly used in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. The term “50% concentration” refers to the concentration of the solution, meaning that 50% of the weight of the solution is made up of sodium hydroxide and the rest is water.
The term “prime” indicates that the solution is of high quality and meets the highest industry standards for purity and consistency. Sodium hydroxide solutions with a high concentration and prime quality are used in a wide range of applications, including pulp and paper production, soap and detergent manufacturing, water treatment, and oil refining.
However, it’s important to handle and store sodium hydroxide with caution, as it can cause serious harm to skin, eyes, and other tissues if not handled properly. When dealing with high-concentration sodium hydroxide solutions, it’s essential to follow proper safety procedures and to make sure that the material is stored and disposed of properly to minimize any risk to people or the environment.
