SODA, AQUEOUS Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Aqueous Soda, also known as sodium hydroxide solution (NaOH), is a highly caustic and alkaline solution used in various industrial and chemical applications. It is commonly produced by dissolving solid sodium hydroxide in water. Aqueous Soda is widely used in the manufacturing of paper, textiles, and detergents, where it acts as a strong base to neutralize acids and saponify fats and oils. It is also employed in the production of aluminum, soaps, and other chemicals. In water treatment, Aqueous Soda is used to adjust pH levels and remove impurities. Proper handling and storage of Aqueous Soda are essential to prevent accidents and ensure safety, as it is highly corrosive and can cause severe burns upon contact with skin or eyes. Proper safety measures, including the use of appropriate protective equipment and adherence to handling protocols, are essential when working with Aqueous Soda. Its versatility and effectiveness make it a valuable chemical in numerous industrial and chemical applications.
