It is also used in the manufacture of chemicals, paper, soap and detergent, rayon and cellophane, processing bauxite to make alumina, and also used in mercerizing textiles, water treatment, etc.


Product Usage


1. For papermaking and cellulose pulp production;


2. It is used in the production of soaps, synthetic detergents, synthetic fatty acids and the refining of animal and vegetable oils.


3. Textile printing and dyeing industry is used as cotton desizing agent, scouring agent and mercerizing agent.


4. The chemical industry is used to produce borax, oxalic acid, phenol, etc.


5. The petroleum industry is used for refining petroleum products and in oil field drilling mud. It is also used in the production of aluminum oxide, metal zinc and metal copper surface treatment and glass, enamel, tanning, medicine, dyes and pesticides.


6. Food-grade products are used as acid neutralizers in the food industry, peeling agents for citrus, peaches, etc., as well as detergents for containers such as empty bottles and cans, as well as decolorizers and deodorizers.


7. It can also be used as an alkaline desiccant. Caustic soda is widely used in the national economy, and many industrial sectors require caustic soda. The sectors that use caustic soda are chemical manufacturing, followed by paper, aluminum, tungsten, rayon, rayon, and soap manufacturing. In addition, in the production of dyes, plastics, pharmaceuticals and organic intermediates, the regeneration of old rubber, the production of sodium metal, the electrolysis of water and the production of inorganic salts, the production of borax, chromium salts, manganates, phosphates, etc., should also be used. Lots of caustic soda.


Toxic protection


It is extremely corrosive, and its solution or dust splashes on the skin, especially the mucous membranes, which can produce soft scabs and penetrate deep tissues. Scar after burn. Splashed into the eye, not only damage the cornea, but also can damage the deep tissue of the eye. If accidentally splashed on the skin, immediately rinse with water for 10 minutes; if splashed into the eyes, immediately rinse with water or normal saline for 15 minutes, and then add 2% novocaine. Severe cases should be sent to hospital immediately. The high allowable concentration of caustic soda dust in the air is 0.5mg/m3. Operators must wear work clothes, masks, protective glasses, rubber gloves, rubber aprons, long rubber boots and other labor protection supplies when working. A neutral and hydrophobic ointment should be applied to the skin. The production workshop should be well ventilated.
