Sodium hydroxide, also known as lye or caustic soda, is a highly alkaline compound that is widely used in various industrial and manufacturing processes. It is a white, odourless, and highly corrosive substance that can cause severe burns and is highly reactive with other substances.
Sodium hydroxide is commonly used in the soap and detergent industry as a key ingredient in the process of saponification, which is the chemical reaction that occurs when fats and oils are mixed with an alkaline substance to produce soap.
It is also used in the production of paper, textiles, and various chemicals. It is a strong base and can be used to neutralize acids, adjust pH levels, and remove impurities from water.
Sodium hydroxide is a hazardous substance and should be handled with extreme care. It can cause severe skin and eye irritation, and can be highly corrosive to metal surfaces.
