Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), commonly known as caustic soda or lye, is a highly versatile and widely used inorganic compound. Supplied in pellet form (500g pack), it is ideal for both laboratory experiments and industrial-scale processes.

NaOH is a strong base and reacts vigorously with acids, making it essential in neutralization, chemical synthesis, and cleaning processes.

Applications:

1. Chemical Manufacturing – Used in producing soaps, detergents, paper, textiles, and various chemicals.

2. Water Treatment – Controls pH, neutralizes acidity, and removes heavy metals from wastewater.

3. Petroleum Industry – Helps refine petroleum products and remove impurities.

4. Food Processing – Used in regulated amounts for peeling fruits/vegetables and cocoa/chocolate processing.

5. Laboratory Reagent – Essential for titrations, pH control, and chemical experiments.

6. Cleaning Agent – Removes grease, oils, and protein deposits in industrial cleaning.
