Sodium Hydroxide Pellets Extra Pure is a white, solid pelletized form of sodium hydroxide known for its strong alkalinity and high purity. Widely used in laboratories and industries, it serves as a powerful base for pH adjustment, neutralization, and chemical synthesis. Its Extra Pure grade ensures minimal impurities for analytical, pharmaceutical, and food industry applications. It is a critical reagent in water treatment, chemical manufacturing, and personal care products. Due to its corrosive nature, it must be handled with appropriate protective equipment and stored in sealed, moisture-free containers.
