Sodium hydroxide is a white, odorless, nonvolatile alkaline material marketed in solid form as pellets, flakes, clumps, or sticks. Its solubility in water is 111% by weight and a vapor pressure of 0mmHg
It can react with tricholoethylene (TCE) to form flammable dichloroacetylene and with metals to form hydrogen gas . Its reactivity with metals should be considered in regards to storage units and containers.
Sodium hydroxide is commonly available as an aqueous solution known as caustic soda, soda lye, or simple as lye. It has various uses, including neutralization of acid; the manufacture of paper, textiles, plastics, corrosives, dyestuffs, paint, paint remover, and soap; refining of petroleum; electroplating; metal cleaning; laundering; and dish washing.
