Sodium Hydroxide Flakes 99% - Industrial Caustic Soda
Sodium hydroxide flakes (caustic soda) are among the most fundamental chemical raw materials in the national economy. This product appears as white, semi-transparent flakes with a purity of 99%, possessing properties such as strong alkalinity, high corrosivity, deliquescence, and exothermic dissolution. Known as the "mother of chemicals," its applications permeate nearly all industrial sectors, serving as a key indicator of a country's chemical industry development level.
