EcoCert caustic soda microbeads - Sodium hydroxide - CAS 1310-73-2
Sodium hydroxide, commonly known as caustic soda, is a highly corrosive strong base with the chemical formula NaOH. It is notably used by industries primarily as a pH agent for detergents and cosmetics, as a reagent for soap manufacturing, or as a stripper and degreaser.
This grade of caustic soda is compatible with the manufacture of cosmetics and organic or natural soaps. Manufactured and packaged in France, it also fits into a local approach. Furthermore, our caustic soda is a raw material verified by ECOCERT GREENLIFE, compliant with the ECODETERGENT and COSMOS (V3 only) standard. This makes it easier to compile your ECOCERT certification files.
The caustic soda we offer is 99% pure. It comes in the form of white microbeads. We offer it in 25 kg bags, intended for professionals.
