Sodium Hydroxide Pellets AR 500g

About Sodium Hydroxide Pellets AR 500g

Sodium Hydroxide Pellets AR is a high-purity analytical-grade inorganic chemical compound, commonly known as caustic soda or lye. It is a strong alkali that readily dissolves in water, releasing heat during dissolution. Sodium hydroxide is widely used in analytical chemistry, laboratory reagent preparation, pH adjustment, titration, chemical synthesis, and industrial testing. Its strong alkaline properties make it useful for neutralization reactions and the preparation of standard alkaline solutions. The pellets are generally white, solid, and hygroscopic, meaning they absorb moisture from the air. They can also absorb carbon dioxide, so the container should be kept tightly closed. Sodium hydroxide is highly corrosive and may cause severe skin burns and eye damage. Handle it using suitable protective equipment and follow established laboratory safety procedures. Always add the pellets carefully to water when preparing a solution, following approved laboratory instructions.
