SODIUM HYDROXIDE PELLETS Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Sodium Hydroxide Pellets, also known as caustic soda or lye (NaOH), are a solid form of sodium hydroxide used in various industrial and chemical applications as a strong base and alkali. They are commonly employed in the production of paper, textiles, and detergents, where they act as a strong base to neutralize acids and saponify fats and oils. Sodium Hydroxide Pellets are also used in the manufacture of aluminum, soaps, and other chemicals. In water treatment, they are used to adjust pH levels and remove impurities. Proper handling and storage of Sodium Hydroxide Pellets are essential to prevent accidents and ensure safety, as they are 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 Sodium Hydroxide Pellets. Their versatility and effectiveness as a strong base make them a valuable chemical in numerous industrial and chemical applications.
