Product Usage-Aqueous Sodium Hydroxide

• Sodium hydroxide is one of the most important industrial chemicals.
• In volume, it is in the top ten chemicals produced in the United States.
• It is used in manufacturing a large number of compounds including several sodium salts, in treating cellulose for producing rayon and cellophane, and in manufacturing soaps, detergents, pulp, and paper.
• Sodium hydroxide is a common neutralizing agent for acids in acid-base titrations and petroleum refining.
• Another major application is extracting metals from their ores where alkali fusion, such as fusion with caustic soda, often is applied to open the ores.
• Additionally, sodium hydroxide is used to precipitate metals as hydroxides.
• Other uses are in reclaiming rubber, dissolving casein in plastics production, refining vegetable oils, processing textiles, as an eluant in ion chromatography, etching and electroplating, and as a laboratory reagent.
• Sodium hydroxide also is used as a strong base in many organic synthesis and base-catalyzed reactions.
