Property
|
Value/Description
|
|---|---|
|
Physical Form
|
White solid pearls, uniform spherical shape, excellent fluidity, low dust, anti-caking
|
|
Solubility
|
Highly soluble in water,exothermic strongly during dissolution, aqueous solution is strongly alkaline (pH > 14)
|
|
Hygroscopicity
|
Extremely high; absorbs moisture quickly and deliquesces when exposed to air, requiring sealed packaging
|
|
Melting Point/Boiling Point
|
318.4℃ / 1390℃, good thermal stability
|
|
Density
|
2.13g/cm³, high bulk density, better packaging efficiency than flake caustic soda
|
|
Advantage
|
Description
|
|---|---|
|
