Caustic Soda Pearl

Caustic soda pearl, also known as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) pearl, are small, white, round, and solid granules or beads. They are highly hygroscopic, meaning they absorb moisture from the air and are soluble in water, producing a highly exothermic reaction.

Common uses of Caustic Soda Pearl:

• Chemical Industry – Used in the production of various chemicals such as detergents, soaps and dyes.
• Soap and Detergent Manufacturing – Essential in saponification, the process of converting fats and oils into soap.
• Water Treatment – Helps regulate pH levels and remove heavy metals.
• Textile Industry – Used in bleaching, dyeing, and mercerising cotton to enhance its strength and shine.
• Petroleum Industry – Used in refining petroleum products and removing acidic impurities.
• Paper and Pulp Industry – Helps in the pulping and bleaching process to produce high-quality paper.
• Aluminium Production – Used in the extraction of aluminium from bauxite ore.
• Cleaning Agent – A key ingredient in drain cleaners and degreasers.

Since caustic soda pearls are highly corrosive, proper handling with protective gear (gloves, goggles, and masks) is necessary.
