I-sodium hydroxide (NaOH), eyaziwa nangokuthi i-caustic soda, i-lye ne-Piece ye-alkali, iyinhlanganisela ye-inorganic.Kuyisisekelo sensimbi esimhlophe esiqinile futhi esinamandla kakhulu kanye nosawoti we-alkali we-sodium otholakala kuma-pellets, ama-flakes, ama-granules, kanye nezixazululo ezilungisiwe ezindaweni eziningi ezahlukene.I-sodium hydroxide yakha isixazululo esigcwele amanzi esingaba ngu-50% (ngesisindo).I-sodium hy droxide iyancibilika emanzini, ethanol, kanye ne-me thanol.Le alkali intekenteke futhi imunca kalula umswakama nesikhutha emoyeni.
I-sodium hyd roxide isetshenziswa ezimbonini eziningi, ikakhulukazi njengesisekelo samakhemikhali esiqinile lapho kwakhiwa ucwecwe nephepha, izindwangu, amanzi okuphuza, insipho kanye nezinto zokuhlanza kanye nanjengomshini wokuhlanza amanzi.
