Sodium Hydroxide Beads, Tech
CAS 1310-73-2 · Part MC-NAOHBD · Technical, 99%
Solid caustic soda in bead form, 50 lb bags and supersacks. For batch make-up where liquid storage is not practical or where a dry additive is required.

Bead-form caustic soda at 99% minimum assay. Beads dissolve faster and dust less than flake, which is why most operations that still buy dry caustic buy beads.
Typical uses
- Batch make-up of cleaning solutions where liquid bulk storage is not justified
- Dry blending into powdered cleaner formulations
- Sites with no tank capacity or no containment for liquid caustic
- Intermittent use, where a liquid tank would sit unused between campaigns
Handling and storage
Solid caustic is hygroscopic — it absorbs moisture from the air and will cake in a bag left open. Keep containers sealed and store dry.
Dissolution is strongly exothermic. Add beads to water slowly with agitation; never add water to beads. A dissolving vessel can reach boiling if the addition rate is not controlled.
Use chemical splash goggles and a face shield. Dry caustic on damp skin generates heat as it dissolves, which is why a dust exposure that seems minor can still cause a burn.

Section 2 covers the hazards, Section 8 the protective equipment actually required, and Section 10 what this must not be stored next to. Storage incompatibility is the single most common cause of serious chemical incidents.
