Caustic Soda Pearls

Original price was: $7,000.00.Current price is: $6,500.00.

Caustic Soda Pearls is a highly caustic and alkaline compound that is used in various industries for its strong basic properties, including the production of soaps, detergents, and paper. It is a white, odorless solid that is highly soluble in water and can be extremely hazardous if not handled properly. Sodium hydroxide is a strong base that can cause severe burns and tissue damage upon contact with skin and other organic matter.

  • Heavy Metal Removal: Precipitates toxic metals (e.g., lead, mercury) from wastewater.

3. Food Industry (Food-Grade NaOH)

  • Food Processing: Used in olive curing, pretzel lye dipping, and cocoa processing.
  • Equipment Sanitization: Sterilizes tanks & pipelines in breweries, dairy, and bottling plants.

4. Pulp & Paper Industry

  • Kraft Process: Breaks down wood into pulp for paper production.
  • Bleaching & Recycling: Removes ink and whitens recycled paper.

5. Textile Industry

  • Mercerization: Treats cotton to improve strength, dye absorption, and luster.
  • Fabric Scouring: Removes natural waxes and impurities from fibers.

6. Petroleum & Biofuel Production

  • Petroleum Refining: Neutralizes acidic compounds in crude oil.
  • Biodiesel Catalyst: Facilitates transesterification(converting vegetable oils into biodiesel).

7. Aluminum Production

  • Bayer Process: Extracts alumina (Alâ‚‚O₃)from bauxite ore.

 Secondary Uses of Caustic Soda Pearls

1. Drain & Pipe Cleaning

  • Dissolves grease, hair, and organic clogsin plumbing systems.

2. Glass Manufacturing

  • Helps melt silica for glass production and etching.

3. Rubber & Plastic Industry

  • Vulcanization of rubberand recycling of plastics.

4. Pharmaceuticals & Cosmetics

  • Used in drug synthesis(e.g., aspirin, anticoagulants).
  • Found in hair relaxers and depilatory creams(regulated use).

5. Laboratory & Analytical Chemistry

  • pH adjustment, titration, and chemical testing.

6. Metal Processing & Electroplating

  • Cleans and treats metal surfaces before coating.

7. Agriculture (Limited Use)

  • Adjusts soil pH in controlled farming applications.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Personal Protection
  • Respiratory Protection: Use an NIOSH-approved respiratorwith an acid gas/organic vapor cartridge if dust or mist is present.
  • Eye Protection: Chemical splash goggles + face shield(mandatory—risk of blindness).
  • Skin Protection: Neoprene or nitrile gloves+ PVC/rubber apron + chemical-resistant boots.
  • General Hygiene: No eating/drinking/smokingin work areas. Emergency eyewash/shower must be accessible.
Handling & Storage
  • Store in cool, dry, well-ventilatedareas in airtight, corrosion-resistant containers (HDPE/PP/stainless steel).
  • Keep away from acids, metals (e.g., aluminum), and organic materials(risk of violent reactions).
  • Use non-sparking toolsand grounding to prevent static buildup.
  • NEVER add water to NaOH—always add NaOH to water slowly (exothermic reaction).
Spill Management
  • Small spills: Cover with dry sand or vermiculite, then neutralize with weak acetic acid or citric acidbefore disposal.
  • Large spills: Evacuate area, contain spill, and call HazMat. Prevent runoff into drains (highly corrosive to pipes).
Inhalation (Dust/Mist)
  • Move to fresh air immediately.
  • Administer oxygenif breathing is difficult.
  • Seek emergency medical care(risk of pulmonary edema).
Skin Contact
  • Remove contaminated clothing immediately.
  • Rinse with copious water for ≥15 minutes.
  • Wash with mild soap(neutral pH).
  • Urgent medical attentionrequired for burns (may appear delayed).
Eye Contact
  • Flush eyes with lukewarm water for ≥30 minutes, holding eyelids open.
  • EMERGENCY MEDICAL ATTENTION REQUIRED(alkali burns cause permanent damage).
Ingestion
  • Do NOT induce vomiting(risk of esophageal perforation).
  • Rinse mouth with water or milk(if conscious).
  • Immediate hospitalization
Fire Characteristics
  • Non-flammable, but reacts violently with water, acids, and metals, releasing heat and flammable hydrogen gas.
  • Decomposes at high temperatures, producing toxic fumes (sodium oxide).
Extinguishing Media
  • Use dry chemical powder (Class D), sand, or graphitefor surrounding fires.
  • NEVER use water, COâ‚‚, or foam(may intensify reaction).
Firefighter Protection
  • Full chemical-resistant suit+ SCBA.
  • Fight fire from upwind and a safe distance.
  • Cool nearby containers with water spray(avoid direct contact with NaOH).
