Appearance: Sodium hydroxide flakes typically appear as solid white or translucent flakes or pellets.
Chemical Properties: Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is a strong base and is highly caustic. It is hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air.
Applications: * Soap Making: Sodium hydroxide, along with fats or oils, is used in the process of saponification to produce soap. During this chemical reaction, the sodium hydroxide reacts with the fats or oils (known as triglycerides) to form soap and glycerin. Once the saponification process is complete and the soap has cured, there is no residual sodium hydroxide left in the finished product
