About Product
Caustic soda flakes, also known as sodium hydroxide flakes, are a solid form of caustic soda (NaOH) that appear white and crystalline. Highly soluble in water, these flakes produce a strong alkaline solution. As one of the most potent alkalis, caustic soda is extremely corrosive and widely recognized for its versatility across industrial sectors. It remains one of the most essential chemical compounds produced and supplied by leading caustic soda producers worldwide.

About Product

About Caustic Soda Flakes


Caustic soda, scientifically known as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or lye, derives its name from its powerful corrosive properties capable of breaking down organic matter. It effectively degrades proteins at room temperature, which explains its widespread industrial use and the necessary precautions in handling it.


Elchemy has established itself as one of the leading caustic soda producers and global caustic soda distributors, delivering premium-grade sodium hydroxide to industries worldwide. We specialize in supplying caustic soda flakes that meet stringent international quality standards and offer competitive pricing for maximum client value.


Our team of chemical experts ensures not only high-quality product delivery but also provides complete technical support and seamless logistics. In industrial applications, caustic soda plays a crucial role in pulp and paper bleaching, textile mercerization, and water treatment for pH adjustment and heavy metal removal.


In chemical synthesis, it acts as a key feedstock and catalyst. Additionally, caustic soda supports alumina extraction, petroleum refining, soap and detergent production, and pharmaceutical manufacturing, emphasizing its versatility across sectors.


Manufacturing Process


The production of caustic soda involves the electrolysis of brine (sodium chloride solution), yielding sodium hydroxide along with chlorine and hydrogen gas as valuable by-products. This advanced process ensures high purity, scalability, and adherence to industrial quality benchmarks.


Elchemy maintains a strong commitment to sustainable manufacturing, ensuring compliance with environmental and safety standards in caustic soda production and distribution. Our integrated supply chain management and strategic partnerships guarantee efficient global delivery.
