Kenya Chemical is one of the leading Caustic Soda Exporters, Manufacturers, Suppliers, and Producers in Nairobi, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, Congo, South Africa, South Sudan, Zambia, Nigeria, Namibia, Ghana, Malawi Nairobi Kenya.
Caustic Soda is the chemical Sodium Hydroxide (Chemical Formula), also known as lye. In its purest form, the caustic, highly toxic, crystalline solid is an inorganic compound that is soluble in water and insoluble in ether and other non-polar solvents. Caustic soda has many industrial applications that include the manufacture of pulp and paper, textiles, drinking water, soaps, detergents, and drain cleaners.
Solid caustic soda is sold in the form of flakes, prills, cast blocks, and less commonly as tablets, briquettes, and granules.
Worldwide production according to the latest statistics from the International Statistical Index is approximately 60 million tons per year.
Industrial Uses include:
Adhesives and sealant chemicals
Adsorbents and absorbents
Agricultural chemicals (non-pesticidal)
Bleaching agents
CBI
Corrosion inhibitors and anti-scaling agents
Defoamer

Plasticizers
Other common uses of sodium hydroxide include:
It is used for making soaps and detergents. Sodium hydroxide is used for hard bar soap while potassium hydroxide is used for liquid soaps.
sodium hydroxide is used more often than potassium hydroxide because it is cheaper and a smaller quantity is needed.
It is used as drain cleaners that contain sodium hydroxide convert fats and grease that can clog pipes into soap, which dissolves in water. (see cleaning agent)
It is used for making artificial textile fibres (such as Rayon).
It is used in the manufacture of paper. Around 56% of sodium hydroxide produced is used by industry, 25% of which is used in the paper industry. (see chemical pulping)
It is used in purifying bauxite ore from which aluminium metal is extracted. This is known as Bayer process. (see dissolving amphoteric metals and compounds)
It is used in de-greasing metals, oil refining, and making dyes and bleaches.
It is used in water treatment plants for pH regulation.
It is used to treat bagels and pretzel dough, giving the distinctive shiny finish.
1. Used in the production of paper and cellulose pulp.
2. Used for the production of soap, synthetic detergents, synthetic fatty acids.
3. Used as cloth desizing agent, scouring agent and silk polish agent in textile printing .
4. Used in the production of borax, sodium cyanide, formic acid etc in the chemical industry.
5. Main Usage for caustic soda pearls:
1)As a strong chemical base in pulp and paper manufacturer
2)Textiles, printing and dyeing
3)Soap and detergent factory
4)Water treatment,soft drink processing.
5)Aluminium oxide factory
6. The production process for caustic soda pearls and flake:
All of our Caustic soda are made from Ionic membrane liquid alkali and diaphragm liquid alkali.
1). To guarantee the quality of our goods, all the material must get through laboratory tests before go into our factory.
2). Allocate the material according to a certain proportion.
3). Put the material into pot by liquid alkali pump.
4). Heating continuously and stop it till 180 degree, precipitate for 1 hour, that is for wipping out the impurities.
5). Continue to heat, then put a good amount of sulphur and Sodium nitrate for Colour mixing, Precipitate again for 2 hours and keep warm with samll fire.
6). Put them into caustic soda flakes molding machine (for caustic soda flakes );
Put them into caustic soda pearls molding machine (for caustic soda pearls)
7). Cooling, packaging and put into the warehouse
usages
Sodium hydroxide is an important chemical materials, mainly using in paper making, synthetic fiber, textile, dyestuff, commodity, petroleum and petrochemistry industry, organic compound, pharmacy, chemical fertilizer, plastic and water disposal industries. Along with the continuously development of national industry, every walk of life requires higher quality of Sodium hydroxide, such as: Synthetic fiber, textile, dyestuff, organic compound and fine chemistry all need the high pure Sodium hydroxide containing few impurity ---ion-film Sodium hydroxide. The subsidiary company of our group company produces the ion-film Sodium hydroxide, adopting national most advanced production technology, containing lowest impurity, and which entirely satisfy the demand of every walk of life.
