Description
Genome Specialities FZC is a supplier of Caustic Soda Prills (Sodium Hydroxide / NaOH) for industrial and commercial applications.
Caustic soda prills are a solid, granular form of sodium hydroxide, typically supplied as small white spherical beads or pellets.
With high alkalinity, excellent water solubility, and strong chemical reactivity, caustic soda prills are widely used across the chemical, pulp and paper, textile, water treatment, petroleum, soap and detergent, alumina, and food-processing industries.
Caustic Soda Prills, chemically known as Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), are white, bead-shaped solid particles manufactured for convenient handling, storage, transportation, and industrial processing.
Caustic soda prills are highly hygroscopic, meaning they readily absorb moisture and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Genome Specialities FZC supplies caustic soda prills in industrial and high-purity grades according to application requirements and customer specifications.
