FAQs

What is Lab Pro Sodium Hydroxide 35% (w/w) used for?

Lab Pro Sodium Hydroxide 35% (w/w) is commonly used in industrial and process-based applications that require strong alkaline chemistry. Typical uses include soap manufacturing, water treatment, paper processing, drain cleaning, and chemical production where caustic soda is required.

Is this sodium hydroxide solution suitable for laboratory use?

This product is primarily intended for industrial and process applications rather than precision laboratory analysis. Its high concentration and corrosive nature make it suitable for bulk chemical processes, cleaning, and treatment operations rather than analytical or volumetric laboratory workflows.

Why is sodium hydroxide referred to as caustic soda?

Sodium hydroxide is commonly called caustic soda due to its strong corrosive properties. It can aggressively break down organic materials, fats, and oils, which is why it is widely used in cleaning, manufacturing, and chemical processing industries.

How should Lab Pro Sodium Hydroxide 35% be stored?

The solution should be stored at ambient temperatures in its original container. Containers must be kept tightly closed and clearly labeled. Due to its corrosive nature, storage areas should be designed for caustic chemicals and kept away from incompatible materials.

What safety precautions are required when handling this product?

Sodium hydroxide 35% is highly corrosive and can cause severe burns. Proper personal protective equipment, including gloves, eye protection, and protective clothing, must be worn. Handling and disposal should follow applicable safety regulations and SDS guidelines.
