Please find hereunder information about the use of Solvay's caustic soda in the chemical industry.
Please consult our chemical portal site to check if other products are also involved in this industry.
 |
The characteristic properties of caustic soda make this product indispensable in a large number of chemical processes. Caustic soda is a significant raw material in the manufacture of sodium phosphates, phenol, colouring agents and a large number of sodium salts. |
|
Caustic soda is also used successfully in various other industrial chemical operations, including the regeneration of rubber, the drying and removal of carbonate from gases, the neutralisation of carbon and oil by-products, oil refining, etc.
