Product Description

Our Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic Soda Flakes) is a high-purity, industrial-grade alkali used extensively across multiple industries. Manufactured under strict quality control parameters, our caustic soda meets international standards and specifications.

Also known as lye or caustic soda, sodium hydroxide is a highly versatile chemical with a wide range of industrial applications. It is a white, solid, highly caustic metallic base and alkali salt. We supply caustic soda in flake form, which is preferred for ease of handling and dissolution.

Every batch undergoes rigorous quality testing in certified laboratories to ensure consistency and compliance with specifications. We provide complete documentation including Certificate of Analysis (COA), Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), and Technical Data Sheet (TDS) with every shipment.

Safety Information & Handling

⚠️ WARNING: Highly Corrosive Material

Sodium Hydroxide is a highly corrosive substance. Proper safety precautions must be followed during handling, storage, and use. Always refer to the complete MSDS before handling.

Personal Protection Equipment (PPE)
  • Eye Protection: Chemical safety goggles or face shield (mandatory)
  • Hand Protection: Chemical-resistant gloves (rubber, neoprene, or PVC)
  • Body Protection: Chemical-resistant apron or full protective suit
  • Respiratory Protection: Use in well-ventilated areas; respirator if required
  • Footwear: Chemical-resistant safety boots
First Aid Measures
  • Eye Contact: Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately.
  • Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected area with plenty of water and soap. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
  • Inhalation: Move to fresh air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Seek medical attention.
  • Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water. Give water or milk to drink. Seek immediate medical attention.
Fire Fighting Measures

Non-combustible. However, contact with water generates heat and may cause spattering. Use dry chemical, CO₂, or water spray to fight fires involving caustic soda. Wear full protective equipment including self-contained breathing apparatus.

Spill & Leak Procedures
  • Evacuate area and ventilate thoroughly
  • Wear appropriate PPE before cleanup
  • Contain spill to prevent environmental contamination
  • Neutralize with dilute acid (under professional supervision)
  • Collect material and place in appropriate disposal containers
  • Flush area with water after cleanup

Product Description

Bentonite API 13A is a pure Sodium based Bentonite. It is processed from selected ore with high montmorollinite content.

Bentonite API 13A contains more than 85% smeclite, the active clay content as determined by colloid and x-ray diffraction.

Bentonite API 13A is used as a viscosifier and fluid loss reducing agent. It is most effective in fresh water. Prehydrated BENTONITE API 13A can be used in brakish and salt water.

Technical Specifications

ParameterSpecificationTest Method
CompositionBentonite is mainly made up of montmorillonite clay, which is a mineral rich in silicates. It also contains other minerals such as feldspar, quartz, and mica in smaller quantities.
ColorBentonite can range in color from white to gray, yellow, green, or brown, depending on its mineral content.
TextureIt has a soft, fine texture that makes it sticky and smooth when wet.
PropertiesHigh absorbent capacity, Swells when wet, Absorbs water and organic substances easily, It forms a gel-like substance when mixed with water.

Industrial Applications

Drilling Fluids (Oil & Gas Industry)

Bentonite is used in drilling muds due to its ability to swell and form a thick slurry that helps cool and lubricate drilling equipment, as well as lift drill cuttings to the surface.

Cat Litter

Bentonite’s absorbent properties make it an ideal material for use in cat litter, where it clumps and traps moisture and odors.

Foundry Sands

Used as a bonding agent in the foundry industry to help mold and cast metals.

Waterproofing and Sealing

It is used for lining ponds, landfills, and other water storage areas to prevent leakage.

Cosmetics & Skincare

Bentonite is included in many skincare products, such as face masks, due to its ability to absorb excess oil and impurities.

Food Industry

It is used in food processing as a clarifying agent, for example in the production of wine, juices, and edible oils.

Agriculture

Bentonite is used as a soil conditioner and to improve water retention in soil.

Medicinal Uses

Bentonite is sometimes ingested in small quantities for its supposed detoxifying properties or used in wound care products.
