FAQs

What is Lab Pro Sodium Hydroxide 50% (w/w) used for?

Lab Pro Sodium Hydroxide 50% (w/w) is used in analytical chemistry, regulated testing, and industrial processes requiring a strong, high-purity alkali. Common uses include PFAS testing, calibration procedures, material processing, and chemical manufacturing applications.

Is this sodium hydroxide solution suitable for analytical testing?

Yes. This product is formulated with controlled impurity limits and consistent concentration, making it suitable for analytical and regulated testing applications, including methods referenced by EPA and DIN standards.

Why is sodium hydroxide supplied at 50% concentration?

A 50% (w/w) sodium hydroxide solution provides high alkalinity while remaining liquid at typical storage temperatures. This concentration is commonly used for efficiency in dosing, dilution, and industrial or analytical workflows.

How should Lab Pro Sodium Hydroxide 50% be stored?

The solution should be stored in its original container at 15–25 °C. Containers must be kept tightly closed and protected from incompatible materials due to the product’s highly corrosive nature.

What safety precautions are required when handling this product?

Sodium hydroxide 50% is highly corrosive. Appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves, eye protection, and protective clothing, must be worn. Handling and disposal should follow SDS guidance and applicable safety regulations.
