Water Soluble Caustic Soda Flakes

Product Description

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 NaOHA A.nH2O.[11] The monohydrate NaOHA A.H2O crystallizes from water solutions between 12.3 and 61.8 A A C. The commercially available "sodium hydroxide" is often this monohydrate, and published data may refer to it instead of the anhydrous compound.
