The main applications of caustic soda flakes are in paper production, aluminum refining, soap and detergent production, viscose fibers, organic and inorganic chemical production, pH adjustment, biodiesel production, textile industries, water and wastewater treatment, paint production, and coating, petrochemical and oil and gas well drilling, glue and sealant production and many other industries.
Sodium carbonate is also used as a relatively strong base in many applications. In chemistry, this substance is used as an electrolyte, and this is because electrolytes usually have salt bases, and on the other hand, sodium carbonate acts as a good conductor in electrolysis.
