Caustic soda

Caustic Soda is one of the common names for sodium hydroxide (NaOH), which is also known as lye. Its common name derives from its chemical identity as a sodium hydrate and because it is caustic or corrosive. In pure form, caustic soda is a waxy, white solid. It readily absorbs water and forms aqueous solutions.

Lye is used for soap making, candle making, homemade biodiesel, frosting glass, making several foods, and for chemistry experiments.Commercial caustic soda is classified into solid types and liquid types according to its phases as well as into industrial, reagent, and Japanese Pharmacopoeia grades according to its uses. Of the solid types of commercial caustic soda, flaked caustic soda is also a commercial product. Caus­tic soda is the most pop­u­lar al­ka­li in the world. It is clas­si­fied in the group of strong chem­i­cal bases, as it com­plete­ly dis­so­ci­ates (dis­solves) in wa­ter. All house­hold wash­ing agents, sham­poo and soap have a cer­tain amount of caus­tic soda added to them.

It can be used in the man­u­fac­ture of pa­per, polyester fiber and card­board. In alu­minum man­u­fac­ture, caus­tic soda is added for pick­ling met­al. Caus­tic soda is reg­is­tered as a food ad­di­tive (code E – 524). It is used to make crunchy crusts. Soda so­lu­tions are used at food fac­to­ries as a very pow­er­ful wash­ing agent which breaks down fats. This com­po­nent must be used in peel­ing fruit. Sol­vents for un­block­ing pipes are also so­lu­tions of caus­tic soda.

Food uses of sodium hydroxide include washing or chemical peeling of fruits and vegetables, chocolate and cocoa processing, caramel coloring production, poultry scalding, soft drink processing, and thickening ice cream.
