Sodium Hydroxide Flakes

Product Code : SCL-LC-12293

The Sodium Hydroxide Flakes lab chemical is a strong inorganic alkali reagent used for supervised chemistry experiments involving neutralisation, titration, pH adjustment, base chemistry, and controlled solution preparation. It is suitable only for trained chemistry laboratories, colleges, science departments, institutional tenders, distributors, and educational procurement buyers.

Product Description

Sodium Hydroxide Flakes from Science Lab Supplies are intended for controlled educational and laboratory use where a solid caustic alkali reagent is required. The exact grade, assay, pack size, physical form, batch number, shelf life, SDS, COA, and transport documents must be confirmed before final quotation or publication.

Sodium hydroxide is commonly represented as NaOH. It is also known as caustic soda, lye, or sodium hydrate. Because it is strongly corrosive and can generate heat when dissolved, this listing is for laboratory-use sodium hydroxide only, not drain cleaner, soap-making material, food processing, household, cosmetic, or consumer use.

Key Features

• Strong alkali reagent: suitable for supervised chemistry teaching and approved laboratory procedures.
• Formula reference: sodium hydroxide is represented as NaOH.
• Flake form listing: product name indicates flakes; final physical form must be verified from the supplied batch.
• Neutralisation support: useful for approved acid-base practicals, titration work, and alkalinity demonstrations.
• Solution preparation use: suitable for preparing approved NaOH solutions under institutional SOP and SDS guidance.
• Corrosive handling control: requires PPE, eye protection, compatible containers, and trained supervision.
• Documentation-led procurement: SDS, COA, assay, batch number, grade, and shelf-life details should be verified before use.

How to Use the Sodium Hydroxide Flakes

1. Read the current SDS, product label, and institutional risk assessment before use.
2. Allow only trained laboratory personnel to dispense or prepare sodium hydroxide solutions.
3. Wear suitable PPE, including lab coat, chemical-resistant gloves, and eye or face protection.
4. Use only the quantity required by the approved laboratory procedure.
5. Measure flakes with a clean, dry, compatible spatula or weighing tool.
6. Add flakes only according to the written SOP, using compatible glassware or containers.
7. Label prepared solutions with chemical name, concentration, date, hazard note, and preparer details.
8. Dispose of residues according to institutional alkali and corrosive-waste procedures.

Safety note: Sodium Hydroxide Flakes must be handled as a highly corrosive alkali. Do not ingest, touch with bare hands, inhale dust, add water carelessly, mix with acids or incompatible metals, or issue for unsupervised student handling.

Care & Maintenance

• Store tightly closed in the original container in a cool, dry, ventilated chemical-storage area.
• Protect from moisture, carbon dioxide exposure, acids, aluminium, tin, zinc, flammable liquids, and unlabelled containers.
• Use clean, dry tools and avoid returning unused or contaminated flakes to the original pack.
• Maintain SDS, COA, batch number, grade, assay, pack size, and corrosive-storage records for audit control.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Sodium Hydroxide Flakes used for in a laboratory?

Sodium Hydroxide Flakes are used as a strong alkali reagent for supervised solution preparation, acid-base titration, neutralisation, pH adjustment, and base chemistry lessons.

What is the formula of Sodium Hydroxide?

The formula of Sodium Hydroxide is NaOH. Its CAS number is 1310-73-2 and its molecular weight is 39.9971 g/mol.

Are Sodium Hydroxide Flakes hazardous?

Yes. Sodium Hydroxide Flakes are corrosive and require SDS-based handling, PPE, eye or face protection, compatible storage, restricted access, and controlled disposal.

Is Sodium Hydroxide the same as caustic soda?

Yes. Sodium hydroxide is commonly called caustic soda or lye. The supplied grade, assay, and physical form should still be confirmed from the label and COA.

Is it suitable for school chemistry labs?

It is suitable only for supervised school and college chemistry laboratories where trained staff control dispensing, solution preparation, storage, and disposal.

What grade is supplied?

Science Lab Supplies’ Lab Chemicals category references Laboratory Reagent Grade Sodium Hydroxide. The final grade, assay, pack size, SDS, and COA must be confirmed before publication or procurement.
