******INFORMATION BELOW IS FOR REFERENCE ONLY, PLEASE DO PROPER RESEARCH FOR YOUR SPECIFIC USE BEFORE PURCHASE********* Anhydrous caustic beads are white and spherical. Dry caustic soda has a white color and a microcrystalline structure. It is anhydrous, hygroscopic (attracting moisture) and deliquescent (dissolving in moisture absorbed from the atmosphere) and reacts with carbon dioxide in the air to form sodium carbonate. Common Uses : The host of different uses of anhydrous caustic beads is derived mainly from its reactivity as a strong alkali. With all downstream applications, appropriate registrations and/or approvals may be required. Possible uses are described below: -Petroleum Exploration -Food and Dairy -Textile Treatment -Chemical Production -General and Industrial cleaning -Soap and detergent -Biodiesel and bioethanol -Metal Cleaning -General Industrial -and much more
