Frequently asked questions
What is technical sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) and where is it used?
Technical sodium hydroxide (CAS 1310-73-2, NaOH), also known as caustic soda, is a strong inorganic base; a colourless or coloured liquid containing a minimum of 46% NaOH. It is used in the chemical, petrochemical, pulp and paper industries, non-ferrous metallurgy and mineral fertilizer production; in vegetable oil and fatty acid production; in soaps, perfumery and cosmetics; in textiles; and for etching and degreasing metal surfaces.
What packaging is available and is it kept in stock?
It is supplied in medium-tonnage cubic containers on metal pallets and in specially rubber-lined rail tank wagons; it can be transported by rail and road (UN 1824). KORKİMYA ships ex-stock from its Istanbul warehouse and keeps local stock to ensure fast delivery against import lead times. Bulk tanker delivery is also possible depending on order volume.
Is it REACH-registered and is a safety data sheet provided?
Yes. The product is registered under the Turkish KKDİK / REACH framework and ships with a compliant safety data sheet (SDS). As sodium hydroxide is a corrosive base, the storage and handling instructions on the SDS must be followed: store protected from moisture and away from contact with metals.
How can I get a sample and a price quote?
KORKİMYA offers samples and price quotes with invoicing. Purity values (minimum 46% NaOH, NaCl maximum 3%) and a certificate of analysis (CoA) are shared on request. Specify the quantity you need and the delivery location to receive a quote.
