Description: Presented as solid white granules with pronounced hygroscopic behavior. This inorganic alkali exhibits strong basic characteristics: it dissolves readily in water, neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions, and actively absorbs atmospheric CO₂, forming carbonates over time.
Key Uses:
Agrochemical Sector. Key raw material in the manufacturing of mineral fertilizers to support soil enrichment and crop productivity.
Polymer & Materials Science. Essential component in synthesizing synthetic rubber and engineering plastics. Used in electrolyte formulations for alkaline batteries and energy storage systems.
Energy & Fuel Technology. Serves as a catalytic agent in biodiesel production, facilitating efficient transesterification processes.
Maintenance & Surface Treatment. Effective in industrial-scale drain and sewer cleaning due to its ability to dissolve organic blockages. Applied in passivation and cleaning of stainless steel components to ensure corrosion resistance and surface purity.
Food Industry. Approved as food-grade acidity regulator E525, utilized for pH control and process optimization in select food manufacturing applications.
