Sodium hydroxide, commonly known as caustic soda, is a strong alkaline compound with a wide range of applications. Its chemical prowess lies in its ability to break down grease, oils, and organic matter, making it an ideal candidate for tough cleaning tasks.
Always add the Sodium Hydroxide Slowly to Cold water, not the other way around. Once the Sodium Hydroxide comes in contact with the water, it's going to cause a reaction and generate heat.
Always make sure to wear the proper PPE when handling the Sodium Hydroxide.
