About Caustic Soda Flakes

Caustic soda, also known scientifically as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or simply lye, earns its name from its potent corrosive nature, capable of causing severe damage to plant tissues and animal skin upon contact. This versatile alkali is esteemed for its ability to degrade proteins effectively, even at ambient temperatures, thereby presenting substantial risks of chemical burns. Chemically, sodium hydroxide manifests as a white solid compound comprising hydroxide anions (OH-) and sodium cations (Na+).
