About This Product
To make a solution, the flakes are added slowly to water following the approved method, never water poured onto a heap of flakes, and stirred while the heat of dissolution dissipates. The solution is then labelled with its name, concentration, date and hazards. Sodium hydroxide can cause severe burns, and it is kept away from acids, moisture and food, and out of direct student reach. Besides buyers across India, the Pure Sodium Hydroxide Laboratory Chemical can be exported to institutions in Egypt, Zimbabwe, Tunisia, Jamaica and Gabon.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Why are the flakes added to water slowly?
Dissolving sodium hydroxide releases heat. Adding the flakes slowly to water and stirring lets that heat dissipate safely.
