What is caustic soda used for?
Caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) is a versatile alkali. Its main uses are in the manufacture of pulp and paper, alumina, soap and detergents, petroleum products and chemical production. caustic soda flakes include water treatment, food, textiles, metal processing, mining, glass making and others.
- The chemical name of caustic soda is sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and it’s also known as lye.
- According to Shikowitz et al,eight many variables affect the incidence of stomach accidents, corresponding to tonus of the pylorus and kind of food ingested before the caustic agent.

One of the most important consumers of caustic soda is the pulp and paper industry where it's utilized in pulping and bleaching processes, the de-inking of waste paper and water therapy.
