Legal & Safety Notice

Sodium hydroxide is a corrosive and hazardous material. It causes severe damage to eyes, skin, and air passages. Reaction with moist air may produce caustic mist. Store in suitable chemical-resistant containers and avoid contact with moisture and incompatible materials. Proper handling, storage, and disposal in accordance with applicable safety procedures, transport regulations, and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) guidelines is the responsibility of the end user.

FAQs

What is sodium hydroxide 30% (w/w) used for?

Sodium hydroxide 30% (w/w) is used as a strong base in pharmaceutical, laboratory, food, and industrial applications. Common uses include pH adjustment, chemical synthesis, neutralization reactions, cleaning processes, and manufacturing workflows that require controlled alkalinity and consistent solution strength.

What does a 30% (w/w) concentration mean?

A 30% (w/w) concentration means the solution contains approximately 30 grams of sodium hydroxide per 100 grams of solution. This provides high alkalinity while remaining easier to handle than solid caustic soda, supporting predictable performance in processing and laboratory applications.

What does pharma grade indicate for sodium hydroxide?

Pharma grade indicates the sodium hydroxide meets stringent purity standards such as USP-NF, BP, and Ph. Eur. specifications. This ensures controlled impurity levels and suitability for pharmaceutical, laboratory, and regulated applications where material quality and consistency are critical.

Is this sodium hydroxide solution suitable for industrial use?

Yes, this product is suitable for both regulated pharmaceutical environments and industrial applications. Its consistent formulation and bulk packaging make it appropriate for manufacturing, chemical processing, and large-scale operations requiring reliable caustic solutions.

How should sodium hydroxide 30% be handled and stored?

Sodium hydroxide is highly corrosive and must be handled with appropriate PPE, including chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection. Store in compatible, tightly sealed containers at room temperature, away from moisture and incompatible materials. Always follow the Safety Data Sheet and applicable safety regulations.
