Description
Find Sodium Hydroxide NaOH 98% | Caustic Soda Industrial Grade
Extra Pure Sodium Hydroxide for Analytical and Manufacturing Use
Sodium Hydroxide (CAS No. 1310-73-2, chemical formula NaOH) is a powerful, highly caustic base widely used in chemical synthesis, soap making, water treatment, and cleaning applications. It appears as white, odorless flakes or pellets and is highly soluble in water, generating significant heat upon dissolution.
Available in Extra Pure and AR Grades, this product meets high standards for analytical precision, formulation work, and industrial processes. It is frequently used in acid-base titrations, pH adjustments, dyeing, textile processing, and biodiesel production when you find sodium hydroxide from trusted industrial chemical suppliers.
Due to its deliquescent nature and reactivity with carbon dioxide in the air, Sodium Hydroxide should be stored in tightly sealed containers in a dry, cool environment to maintain its analytical grade purity and caustic properties.
Laboratory Titration and Analytical Applications of AR Grade NaOH
The Extra Pure and AR grades ensure exceptional performance in quantitative analysis, standardization procedures, and precision chemical synthesis. Professional-grade sodium hydroxide delivers consistent results in critical laboratory applications.
For analytical chemistry applications, sodium hydroxide provides essential alkaline conditions in laboratory analytical solutions where precise molarity and purity are crucial. The American Chemical Society maintains comprehensive safety guidelines for handling caustic chemicals in laboratory environments.
Industrial Manufacturing and Processing Applications
The high-purity grades support large-scale manufacturing processes including soap production, textile processing, and chemical synthesis operations. Proper handling protocols ensure worker safety and optimal process efficiency.
