Cleaning power
High pH helps break down fats/oils and stubborn soils in industrial cleaning and CIP cycles.
Product Industrial Cleaning
Caustic Soda Flakes (99%)
High-strength sodium hydroxide (NaOH) used for alkaline cleaning, CIP routines, saponification, pH adjustment, and a wide range of industrial processing steps requiring reliable alkalinity.
Supply: palletized bags (standard); other formats per lane
Documentation: SDS / COA / TDS available
Lane planning: spot orders or repeat procurement
If you need a defined impurity profile, specific packaging, or a repeat program with continuity requirements, share your acceptance limits and delivery cadence in the RFQ.
What it does in your process
Caustic soda is a primary alkalinity input used to remove organic soils (fats, oils, proteins), raise pH, and drive reactions such as saponification and neutralization. In cleaning programs, NaOH improves soil removal and supports surfactant performance; in processing, it provides predictable pH control and alkalinity.
pH adjustment
Used to raise pH or neutralize acids in process streams (site-specific dosing and controls).
Process chemistry
Supports saponification, chemical synthesis steps, and alkaline treatment operations.
Selection note: NaOH is typically paired with surfactants, builders, and chelants depending on soil type, water hardness, and substrate sensitivity.
Applications
Typical usage patterns. Share your process constraints and we’ll align the right lane, packaging, and documentation set.
- Industrial alkaline cleaners (degreasing, heavy soil removal)
- CIP programs (food & beverage, dairy, beverage, process plants)
- pH adjustment / neutralization in process streams
- Water treatment routines (alkalinity control in compatible systems)
- General industrial processing requiring strong alkalinity
Typical performance drivers
Concentration, temperature, contact time, agitation, and water hardness.
Common add-ons
Surfactants for wetting, chelants for hardness, inhibitors for metal protection (as applicable).
Where care is needed
Aluminum and soft metals; sensitive coatings; heat generation during dissolution.
Typical specifications & formats
Typical values shown for procurement orientation. Confirm final specification on quotation and COA.
Chemical
Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH)
Typical purity
~99% (confirm on COA)
Form
Flakes (free-flowing; grade dependent)
Packaging
Bags / big bags (supersacks) — palletized options
Documentation
SDS + COA standard on request; TDS available
Logistics
Lane-based lead times; export documentation support (as applicable)
Storage
Keep sealed and dry. Hygroscopic—protect from moisture to prevent caking.
Dissolution note
Exothermic when dissolved. Add to water slowly with mixing; never add water to solid.
Compatibility
Confirm compatibility with equipment materials and downstream chemistry in your process.
Specifications may vary depending on batch, origin, and packaging selection. Share your acceptance limits for continuity planning.
Handling, safety & operational notes
Caustic soda is strongly corrosive. Use appropriate PPE and follow SDS guidance and site EHS procedures. Operationally, safe dissolution, correct dosing, and compatibility checks are essential to prevent equipment damage and safety incidents.
- Use chemical-resistant gloves, eye/face protection, and protective clothing
- Ensure ventilation and proper containment for handling and transfer
- Control dissolution heat (exothermic) and avoid splashing
- Verify substrate/equipment compatibility (especially with soft metals)
For CIP and cleaning programs, your best results come from aligning concentration, temperature, contact time, and rinsing protocol to the soil type and surface.
FAQ
Common questions from procurement and technical teams.
Is 99% suitable for cleaning and CIP?
Many programs use ~99% flakes as an alkalinity source. Confirm suitability based on your process, impurity limits, and handling setup.
What packaging do you support?
Palletized bags and big bags are common. Specify bag size, pallet type, and any wrapping/label requirements in your RFQ.
What documents can you provide?
SDS and COA are available; TDS can be provided depending on lane and destination requirements.
How do you quote accurately?
Quotes depend on volume, packaging, destination, Incoterms, and lane lead times. Sharing delivery cadence improves accuracy.
Can you support repeat procurement?
Yes. For repeat programs, we align lane planning to monthly volumes and continuity requirements, and standardize documentation packs.
Any operational precautions?
Dissolution is exothermic and NaOH is corrosive—follow SDS guidance, safe mixing procedures, and compatibility checks.
