1. Paper making: Caustic Soda Flakes is used for delignification, and fibers can only be obtained by removing lignin from the wood. Adding Caustic Soda Flakes solution can dissolve and separate non cellulose components, resulting in the production of pulp with cellulose as the main component.
2. Refined petroleum: After being washed with sulfuric acid, petroleum products still contain some acidic substances that must be washed with Caustic Soda Flakes solution and then washed with water to obtain refined products.
3. Textile: cotton and linen fabrics are treated with concentrated Caustic Soda Flakes solution to improve fiber performance. Artificial fibers, such as artificial cotton, artificial wool, rayon, etc., are mostly viscose fibers. They are made from cellulose (such as paper pulp), flake alkali, Carbon disulfide (CS2) as raw materials, which are made into viscose liquid, sprayed and coagulated.
4. Printing and dyeing: Cotton fabrics treated with Caustic Soda Flakes solution can remove wax, oil, starch, and other substances covering the cotton fabric, while increasing the mercerizing color of the fabric and making the dyeing more uniform.
5. Making soap
6. Chemical industry: Caustic Soda Flakes is used to produce metal sodium and electrolytic water. The production of many inorganic salts, especially the preparation of some sodium salts (such as borax, Sodium metasilicate, sodium phosphate, Sodium dichromate, Sodium sulfite, etc.), requires the use of Caustic Soda Flakes. Synthetic dyes, drugs, and organic intermediates also require the use of Caustic Soda Flakes.
7. Metallurgical industry
8. Waste water removal: strong Sodium oxide is used to adjust the ph value, and sewage is treated to recycle resources.
9. Chemical preparations, industrial additives. Caustic Soda Flakes is mainly used in the pharmaceutical industry to alkalize solutions or regulate the pH value of pharmaceutical solutions.
10. Electroplating and tungsten smelting. Caustic Soda Flakes serves as an electroplating solution in hardware electroplating, serving as a conductor!
11. Leather industry
12. The detergent chemical industry is used to produce formic acid, oxalic acid, borax, phenol, Sodium cyanide and soap, synthetic fatty acid, synthetic detergent, etc.
13. Textile printing and dyeing industry, used as cotton desizing agent, scouring agent, mercerizing agent and Vat dye, Haichang blue dye solvent.
14. Smelting industry, used for manufacturing Aluminium hydroxide, aluminum oxide and metal surface treatment agent.
15. Adhesive industry, used as starch gelatinizer and neutralizer.
16. Manufacture phosphate and Manganate.
17. Caustic Soda Flakes is also used in pesticide manufacturing.
