Sodium hydroxide is a highly versatile substance and is a co-product of chlorine production. It is also known as caustic soda. It is represented as NaOH. It is one of the common alkalis or bases. Uses of sodium hydroxide: It is used in soap making. It is used in the pharmaceutical industry in the manufacturing of various . It is used in the paper industry to make paper. It is used in the aluminum industry to manufacture aluminum products. It is also used in detergents industry.

Sodium hydroxide is widely used in national economy, and many industrial sectors need sodium hydroxide. The largest use of sodium hydroxide was in chemical manufacturing, followed by paper making, aluminum refining, tungsten refining, rayon, rayon and soap manufacturing. In addition, in the production of dyes, plastics, pharmaceutical and organic intermediates, the regeneration of old rubber, metal sodium, water electrolysis and inorganic salt production, making borax, chromium salt, manganese salt, phosphate, also need to use a lot of caustic soda. At the same time, sodium hydroxide is one of the important raw materials for the production of polycarbonate, super absorbent polymer, zeolite, epoxy resin, sodium phosphate, sodium sulfite and a large amount of sodium salt. Sodium hydroxide is a white translucent crystalline solid. Its aqueous solution is astringent and smooth. Properties: 1, water absorption (deliquescence) : sodium hydroxide in the air easily deliquescence, so often use solid sodium hydroxide as desiccant. But liquid sodium hydroxide does not absorb water. 2, solubility: easily soluble in water, dissolved in a large amount of heat. Soluble in ethanol and glycerin.

Caustic soda is an alkali salt which is also called Lye. It is the common name of sodium hydroxide. This name is given due to the corrosive nature of this salt on animal and plant tissues. It's a highly caustic base and the alkali that decomposes proteins at ordinary ambient temperatures and can severely burn chemical burns. It readily absorbs carbon dioxide and moisture from the air and is highly soluble in water. It creates a series of hydrates NaOH·nH2O. One of the strongest alkalis is a white solid, with no pronounced odor. The size of the flakes can reach 0.5 mm. NaOH easily dissolves in water and absorbs moisture from the air with the release of a large amount of heat. It has a wide range of applications. The chemical formula of sodium hydroxide is NaOH. Caustic soda it is often use in in the manufacturing of petroleum products and manufacturing of pulp and paper.
