— Details
Specs & features.
Sodium hydroxide pellets are a highly corrosive, white, crystalline solid form of caustic soda. They are widely used in chemical synthesis, soap making, water treatment, and laboratory pH regulation. They are valued for their strong alkalinity, high water solubility, and easy-to-handle solid structure.
No specifications have been listed.
- Hygroscopic Nature: Pellets readily absorb moisture and carbon dioxide from the air, meaning they must be stored in airtight containers to prevent degradation into sodium carbonate.
- Standardization: Because of their uniform size and high purity, pellets are often preferred over flakes in analytical chemistry and precise laboratory formulations.
- Strong Base: Produces an extremely alkaline environment with a \(pH\) around \(13\)–\(14\) in concentrated solutions.
