CAUSTIC SODA (SODIUM HYDROXIDE) -50 KG PACK

Description

Sodium hydroxide, also known as lye and caustic soda, is an inorganic compound with the formula NaOH. It is a white solid ionic compound consisting of sodium cations Na+ and hydroxide anions OH

Sodium hydroxide is a highly caustic base and alkali that decomposes proteins at ordinary ambient temperatures and may cause severe chemical burns. It is highly soluble in water, and readily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from the air. It forms a series of hydrates NaOH·nH2O. The monohydrate NaOH

What happens when you mix caustic soda and water?

CAUSTIC SODA is a strong alkali and produces a strong base solution when mixed with water. The reaction generates heat. CAUSTIC SODA will cause severe burns.

How do you use caustic soda in a drain?

To use for blocked drains, dilute 750ml (three cups) of caustic soda in three litres of cold water in a bucket. Use a wooden spoon to mix together and you should see a bit of fizz as it combines. Pour the solution straight down the blocked drain and let it sit for half an hour.

Can you mix caustic soda with hot water?

Caustic soda is exothermic, which means that they generate heat and give off hydrogen. When you add hot water to caustic soda this process can be quite dangerous as it can cause an explosion of alkali where acid can be distributed all over the place.

What is caustic soda used for cleaning?

Caustic soda is used to clean and sanitize tank exteriors, usually in a 5% liquid solution. It is also used to remove cells and biofilms from winery surfaces.
