Caustic Soda Flakes & pearls

Caustic soda, also known as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), is a highly versatile and strong alkali. It is available in two common forms:

• Caustic Soda Pearls – Small, white, spherical granules with high purity and quick solubility in water.
• Caustic Soda Flakes – White, flat, and flaky solid with similar chemical properties but a different physical form.

Both forms are highly corrosive, soluble in water, and generate heat when dissolved. They have a slippery feel and should be handled with care.
