Core Features & Product Advantages
Stable High Purity
Strict impurity control and precise concentration proportion guarantee stable chemical performance, avoiding finished product fluctuation caused by raw material differences.
High Alkalinity & High Activity
60% high concentration supports efficient neutralization, saponification and hydrolysis, improving production efficiency and reducing raw material consumption vs low-concentration caustic soda liquid.
Low Impurity & Wide Compatibility
Ultra-low heavy metal and insoluble substance content fits fine chemical and high-standard wastewater treatment without secondary pollution.
Labor-Saving Liquid Form
Ready-to-use liquid eliminates solid caustic soda dissolving work; convenient for pipeline automatic delivery and large-scale industrial production to cut cost.
Main Industrial Applications
Chemical Industry
pH adjustment, neutralization reaction, raw material for sodium salt, detergent and surfactant production.
Water Treatment
Wastewater pH regulation, heavy metal precipitation, water softening and acidic sewage neutralization.
Textile & Dyeing
Fabric mercerization, textile degreasing, stain removal and dyeing auxiliary processing.
H3: Papermaking
Pulp cooking, fiber degumming and paper bleaching treatment.
Petroleum & Metallurgy
Petroleum refining deacidification, metal surface degreasing & derusting, alumina production.
Daily Chemical
Raw material for soap, laundry powder and liquid detergent manufacturing.
Storage & Transportation
Storage Requirements
- Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated and rain-proof warehouse, keep away from heat sources, open flames and direct sunlight;
- Seal the container tightly to prevent moisture evaporation, concentration change and carbonization caused by contact with air;
- Separated from acids, flammable substances, oxidants and food raw materials for storage, avoid mixed storage and reaction;
- Recommended storage temperature: 5℃ - 30℃, prevent low-temperature crystallization and high-temperature volatilization.
Transportation Requirements
- Transported by special chemical transport vehicles, packed in corrosion-resistant plastic drums or stainless steel tanks;
- Avoid violent shaking, collision and inversion during transportation to prevent container leakage;
- Strictly comply with dangerous goods transportation regulations, with complete product safety documents and warning marks;
- Prohibit mixed transportation with acidic substances, toxic goods and edible chemicals.
Safety Precautions
60% Sodium Hydroxide Solution is a strong corrosive and irritant chemical, please follow the safety operating specifications strictly:
- Personal Protection: Operators must wear chemical resistant gloves, goggles, protective clothing and acid-base resistant masks to avoid direct contact with skin, eyes and respiratory tract;
- Emergency Treatment: In case of skin contact, rinse with plenty of clean water for more than 15 minutes; in case of eye contact, flush with running water continuously and seek medical treatment immediately; in case of accidental ingestion, do not induce vomiting, drink a large amount of dilute milk or water and seek medical help;
- Leakage Handling: Isolate the leakage area, prevent splashing, dilute with a large amount of water or neutralize with weak acid (dilute boric acid), then collect and treat the waste liquid uniformly;
- Operation Specification: Prohibit direct mixing with strong acid to prevent violent neutralization reaction, liquid splashing and safety accidents.
Packaging Specification
Standard packaging: 25kg/30kg plastic drum, 1000kg IBC tote tank; customized packaging is available according to customer requirements.
