Caustic soda pearl is designed for filtration applications such as mash filters and mash vessels.
There are other names for this group such as: Sodium Hydroxide Pearls, Beadlets or Soda Grains.
It doesn’t have any special scent. It can resist temperatures up to 80 degrees Celsius, but above this temperature, it cannot perform well and its efficiency decreases.
This type of caustic soda is formed by a caustic soda solution. This solution goes through a 25 mesh grade (which is equal to 0.75mm) and then experiences a free fall from height, in order to be dried in a spherical shape. The result is small white balls, with diameters of 0.7mm.
Caustic soda pearls 99% NaOH content, for multiple applications. Product appearance is small spheres of caustic soda with a lightly perceptible odour. They are soluble in water and stable under normal conditions.
Delivered in 25kg woven bags, classed as packing group II with hazard class 8.
Caustic soda is corrosive and may cause burns. Handle with appropriate PPE and by following the correct HSE procedures.
Particularly suitable for: paper production in pulping and bleaching processes; aluminium production for the dissolution of bauxite ore; feedstock for a wide range of chemical products; production of solvents, plastics, fabric, adhesives, etc.
Very well suited for soap production and petroleum products processing, chemical analysis, domestic cleaning and pipe/drains unblocking.
Uses
Caustic soda pearls are an important inorganic chemical as they are used in numerous industries worldwide. The highest demand for caustic soda comes from the paper industry where it is utilised in pulping and bleaching processes. They are also in demand in the aluminium industry as the caustic soda dissolves bauxite ore, which is the raw material in aluminium production. Another major use for caustic soda is chemical processing as caustic soda is a basic feedstock for a range of down-stream products including solvents, plastics, fabrics, adhesives etc.
Caustic soda pearls are also used in soap production as they engender saponification of the vegetable oils or fats that are necessary for soap manufacture. They also have in role in the natural gas industry where sodium hydroxide is used to help produce and process petroleum products. Caustic soda can also be employed in the textile industry where it is used in the chemical processing of cotton.
Caustic soda also has small scale applications. It can also be used for aluminium etching, chemical analysis, and in paint stripper. It is also a component in a range of domestic products including pipe and drain cleaner, oven cleaner, and in home-cleaning products.
The global caustic soda market is expected to reach USD 46.31 billion by 2024. Escalating demand across various industries such as textile, pulp & paper, organic chemicals, etc. is expected to strengthen the market growth. Rising demand for alumina in automobile industry especially in Asia Pacific is considered to stimulate the market growth.
