Caustic Soda: verschil tussen versies
k |
k (formatting) |
Caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) is a white solid. We use caustic soda primarily as a paint stripper and for surface cleaning.
Sodium hydroxide is mainly used in the form of caustic soda. Solid sodium hydroxide is an integral part of drain cleaners in addition to aluminum shavings. Dissolved in water, the strong alkali (base) oxidizes the aluminum with the evolution of heat and hydrogen and then dissolves fats and proteins in the deposits by saponification.
Hot solution dissolves burn layers in cooking pots (not suitable for aluminum pots).

Handling and storage[bewerken | brontekst bewerken]
If caustic soda is left unsealed in the air, it will react with carbon dioxide to form sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate. Therefore, it is stored in hermetically sealed containers.
Safe handling advice[bewerken | brontekst bewerken]
- Use and open container with care.
- Avoid dust formation.
- Supply eye wash bottle.
Advice on protection against fire and explosion[bewerken | brontekst bewerken]
- No special actions required.
Requirements for storage rooms and containers[bewerken | brontekst bewerken]
- Provide alkali-resistant flooring.
- Do not use light metal containers.
Hints for combined storage[bewerken | brontekst bewerken]
- Do not store together with acids.
- Keep away from metals.
Further information on storage conditions[bewerken | brontekst bewerken]
- Keep container tightly closed.
- Store in a dry place.
- Product is hygroscopic.
