The global caustic soda market is expected to grow with a CAGR between
3.5% and 4.7% from 2017 to 2023. Caustic soda is also known as lye, sodium
hydrate, and sodium hydroxide. Caustic soda is an inorganic odorless material
with strong base and highly corrosive properties. It dissolves in ethanol,
methanol, and water. Caustic soda is also available in solid forms such as
flakes, granules, and pellets. It is obtained as a co-product, during the
electrolytic process for the manufacturing of chlorine, using technologies such
as diaphragm cells, mercury cells and membrane cells. Sodium chloride is the
base raw material for the process and it splits during the electrolytic process to
give sodium and chlorine. The sodium further reacts with water in the cells to
provide caustic soda and hydrogen. Caustic soda produced by lime soda
process has lesser quality. Caustic soda is a good reactant and hence finds
application in the extraction of metals such as alumina and zinc. Moreover, it is
widely used for the production of various inorganic chemicals. Caustic soda
finds several applications as an auxiliary chemical in industries such as pulp &
paper, textiles, oil & gas, detergents, cleaning products and others.
