Product type
Caustic soda, also known as sodium hydroxide, is a highly versatile inorganic chemical commonly used in various industrial processes. It is a white solid that is highly soluble in water, resulting in a strongly alkaline solution. Caustic soda is produced through the electrolysis of sodium chloride solution, which separates sodium and chlorine ions, leading to the formation of sodium hydroxide.
