Sodium Hydroxide 50% – NaOH | CAS 1310-73-2
Product Overview
Sodium hydroxide is an alkali metal hydroxide. In its 50% w/w aqueous form, it is a strong and highly caustic base widely used in industrial and chemical applications. Its high alkalinity makes it ideal for pH adjustment, neutralization reactions, and manufacturing processes that require aggressive base strength. This concentration is commonly employed in heavy-duty cleaning, chemical synthesis, petroleum refining, and water treatment.
