What is Sodium Hydroxide Solution? Sodium Hydroxide Solution (chemical formula NaOH) is a strong alkaline compound, often referred to as caustic soda or lye. It is a clear, colourless liquid that is highly corrosive and reactive. This solution is widely employed in various industrial and laboratory processes due to its strong base properties.

In addition to its industrial use, Sodium Hydroxide is naturally involved in some biochemical processes, though in very small amounts. It plays a critical role in neutralising acids and in saponification, which is essential for soap production.

Consistent Quality: We use only carefully sourced Sodium Hydroxide 32% to ensure our customers can safely use it for various applications.

Shipped from Manchester, UK Facility: Sourced and bottled in non-toxic, chemical-resistant containers, ensuring reliable quality for our customers.

Frequent Uses

Chemical Reactions and Synthesis
Due to its strong base properties, Sodium Hydroxide is widely used in chemical reactions like saponification, which is crucial in soap and detergent production. It is also utilised in the manufacture of various chemicals, including biodiesel.

Cleaning and Decontamination
This solution is an effective cleaning agent, capable of breaking down organic material and removing residues from equipment and surfaces. It is frequently used in industrial cleaning and for the removal of grease, oils, and fats.

Neutralisation
Often employed to neutralise acids in wastewater treatment processes, reducing the environmental impact of acid discharges and balancing pH levels in chemical processes.

Laboratory Use
Used in titrations and other chemical analyses where a strong base is required to neutralise acids or to prepare buffer solutions.
