Applications

Caustic soda is an essential raw material for a wide variety of industries.

Thanks to its strong alkalinity and reactivity, it plays a key role in numerous processes such as neutralization, cleaning, and chemical synthesis. Its versatility makes it indispensable in fields as diverse as water treatment, chemistry, metallurgy, pulp & paper, detergents, food processing, and pharmaceuticals.

CHEMICAL INDUSTRY

Caustic soda is a key raw material in the chemical industry. It is used to neutralize acids, adjust pH, and enable the synthesis of intermediates for many industries such as pharmaceuticals.
SOAP

Caustic soda is essential for saponification, turning fats and oils into soap. It is also used in detergents and cleaners.
ALUMINA & METALLURGY

In alumina refining, caustic soda dissolves bauxite in the Bayer process, separating alumina from impurities. This ensures efficient recovery and high purity for aluminum production. It also helps to purifying parts used in hybrid-car batteries.
FOOD INDUSTRY

Caustic soda is widely used in food processing. It serves for peeling fruits and vegetables, refining vegetable oils and processing starch, sugar or flavour enhancers such as vanillin. It is applied in beverage production for equipment cleaning and sanitizing.
