I-Caustic soda pearl ayikhemikhali ebalulekile ye-inorganic njengoba isetshenziswa ezimbonini eziningi emhlabeni jikelele.Isidingo esiphezulu sesoda ye-caustic sivela embonini yamaphepha lapho isetshenziswa khona ezinqubweni ze-pulping kanye ne-bleaching.Ziyadingeka futhi embonini ye-aluminium njengoba i-caustic soda incibilikisa i-bauxite ore, okuyimpahla eluhlaza ekukhiqizeni i-aluminium.Okunye ukusetshenziswa okukhulu kwe-caustic soda ukucutshungulwa kwamakhemikhali njenge-caustic soda iwukudla okuyisisekelo kohlu lwemikhiqizo esakazwa phansi ehlanganisa izinyibilikisi, amapulasitiki, izindwangu, izinto zokunamathisela njll.
Amaparele e-Caustic soda nawo asetshenziswa ekukhiqizeni insipho njengoba enza i-saponification yamafutha emifino noma amafutha adingekayo ekwenzeni insipho.Banendima embonini yegesi yemvelo lapho i-sodium hydroxide isetshenziselwa ukusiza ukukhiqiza nokucubungula imikhiqizo ye-petroleum futhi bangaqashwa embonini yendwangu lapho isetshenziselwa ukucutshungulwa kwamakhemikhali ukotini.
I-Caustic soda nayo inezicelo ezincane.Ingasetshenziselwa i-aluminium etching, ukuhlaziya amakhemikhali kanye ne-stripper kapende.Iyingxenye yohlu lwemikhiqizo yasekhaya ehlanganisa isicoci samapayipi nedrayini, isicoci se-oven kanye nemikhiqizo yokuhlanza ekhaya.
