The difference between flake caustic soda and granular caustic soda in application.
We know that both granular caustic soda and flake caustic soda are sodium hydroxide in composition. The difference lies in their forms, so there are some differences between their applications.
Granular caustic soda is mainly used as chemical raw materials, which is an important basic chemical raw material, and has a wide range of uses. The chemical industry is used to manufacture formic acid, oxalic acid, borax, phenol, sodium cyanide and soap, synthetic fatty acids, synthetic detergents, etc. Textile printing and dyeing industry is used as desizing agent of cotton cloth, solvent of scouring agent, mercerizing agent, vat dye and navy blue dye. It is used in the smelting industry to manufacture aluminum hydroxide, alumina and metal surface treatment agents. The instrument industry is used as acid neutralizer, decolorizer and deodorant. The adhesive industry is used as starch gelatinizer and neutralizer. In addition, it is widely used in enamel, medicine, cosmetics, tanning, paint, pesticides, glass and other industries.
Flake caustic soda, white translucent sheet solid, is a basic chemical raw material, which is widely used in paper making, synthetic detergent and soap, viscose fiber, rayon and cotton fabrics and other light textile industries, pesticides, dyes, rubber and chemical industries, oil drilling, oil refining and tar refining, as well as machinery industry, wood processing, metallurgical industry, pharmaceutical industry and urban construction. It is also used in the manufacture of chemicals, paper, soap and detergent, rayon and cellophane, the processing of bauxite alumina, and for mercerizing textiles
