Offered in various packaging, including bulk tankers, ISO tanks, and HDPE drums, caustic soda lye allows for convenient storage and transport. The solution is colorless (<20 Hazen units) and meets strict impurity limits to ensure consistent quality for industrial use. Clear labeling and traceable packaging make identification and handling straightforward.

FAQs of Caustic Soda Lye:

Q: How is caustic soda lye typically used in industrial processes?

A: Caustic soda lye is usually used in liquid form by direct dosing into industrial processes. It serves as a strong alkali in applications such as pulping in paper manufacturing, textile scouring, detergent production, chemical synthesis, and water treatment due to its ability to neutralize acids, break down organic materials, and adjust pH levels effectively.

Q: What safety precautions should be taken when storing and handling caustic soda lye?

A: Caustic soda lye should be stored in tightly closed containers, such as HDPE drums or ISO tanks, and kept away from acids and moisture to avoid hazardous reactions. Always use appropriate personal protective gear, including gloves, goggles, and protective clothing, as it causes severe burns and is corrosive to metals. Ensure proper ventilation and follow emergency protocols in case of spills or exposure.

Q: When does caustic soda lye expire, and how can its shelf life be maximized?

A: Caustic soda lye has a shelf life of 12 months from the manufacturing date. To maximize its shelf life, store it in tightly sealed, compatible containers, kept in a cool, dry environment away from acids and moisture. Regularly inspect containers for leaks or signs of deterioration to preserve product quality.

Q: Where can caustic soda lye be sourced in India, and what packaging options are available?

A: Caustic soda lye can be sourced from manufacturers, suppliers, and traders across India. It is available in a range of packaging options, including bulk tankers, HDPE drums, and ISO tanks, allowing for flexibility based on storage, volume requirements, and transportation needs.

Q: What are the key quality features of this caustic soda lye product?

A: This caustic soda lye is characterized by high purity (47% 1), low iron content (<20 ppm), low chloride content (<200 ppm), and colorless appearance (<20 Hazen units). Its specific gravity at 32C is between 1.516 and 1.520, making it reliable for demanding industrial applications where consistent quality is critical.

Q: How does the caustic soda lye benefit industrial users?

A: Industrial users benefit from the products high purity, free-flowing, colorless nature, and ease of solubility with water. This ensures efficient and predictable chemical reactions, improved process reliability, and higher quality output in paper, textile, detergent, chemical, and water treatment operations.
