Q
what will caustic soda dissolve
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Caustic soda, also known as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), is a powerful alkali widely used in various industries for its ability to dissolve multiple substances. It reacts vigorously with organic material, effectively dissolving fats, oils, and proteins, making it useful in cleaning and unblocking drains and in the manufacture of soaps and detergents. Caustic soda also reacts with certain metals, like aluminum, and can dissolve glass over time due to its reaction with silica. However, its aggressive nature requires careful handling as it can cause severe burns upon contact with skin or eyes and can damage materials not resistant to high pH levels. It's crucial to use protective gear when handling this chemical.
