Sodium Hydroxide 98+% Food Grade, E524 500 gram

Sodium hydroxide, also known as corrosive soda or soda -lye, is a chemical that is frequently used in various industries. It is a strong base produced by the electrolysis of sodium chloride. This substance has a wide range of applications, ranging from industrial processes to household cleaning products. One of the most important applications of sodium hydroxide is in the production of soap, detergents and cleaning agents. It is used as an alkaline substance to break down fats and oils, making them easily removed. In addition, it is also used in the paper industry to separate cellulose from other components of wood pulp. Sodium hydroxide is also widely used in the chemical industry as a reagent in different reactions. For example, it is used in the production of plastics, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and nylon. In addition, it is used in the production of aluminum, where it is used to resolve the ore and to increase the purity of the metal. In addition to industrial applications, sodium hydroxide is also used in household cleaning products, such as unblockers and oven cleaners. It can effectively remove fat, oil and other stubborn stains. It is also used as a pH regulator in swimming pools to increase the acidity and to inhibit the growth of bacteria. Although sodium hydroxide is a useful substance, it must be handled with care because of the corrosive properties. It is important to observe the following safety instructions when handling sodium hydroxide: 1. Always wear protective clothing, such as gloves, safety glasses and an apron, to prevent direct contact with the skin and eyes. 2. Always work in a well -ventilated space to minimize the exposure to vapors. Sodium hydroxide can hand in corrosive vapors that can be harmful when inhalation. 3. Avoid mixing sodium hydroxide with acids, because this can lead to a fierce reaction and the formation of toxic gases. 4. Save sodium hydroxide in a cool, dry place, away from flammable substances and foods. 5. In case of spilling or leakage, absorb the substance with a suitable absorption tool and remove it safely according to the applicable regulations. 6. Consult a doctor immediately if there is accidental contact with sodium hydroxide, such as inhalation, swallowing or contact with the skin or eyes. In short, sodium hydroxide is a versatile chemical that is used in different industries because of its strong alkaline properties. It is used in soap and cleaning agents, the paper industry, the chemical industry and household cleaning products. However, it is important to take the necessary safety measures when handling this substance due to its corrosive nature.
