Sodium hydroxide is a "slippery" chemical that seeks leak paths in tanks. It is also extremely corrosive to human tissue and highly toxic if ingested, so it must be handled with care. Finally, if caustic soda is not kept and stored at a specific temperature, it will crystallize and become a solid.

The packaging provided of caustic soda available globally is one of the most important issues for the presentation of this product. Caustic soda should be packaged in the most suitable way possible before being sent to the applicant, especially if the product is to be sent for export due to a long distance, it may change the quality of the product received by the customer.

On the other hand, if the packaging is not determined based on the distance to be traveled, in addition to changing the quality of the caustic soda, there is the possibility of tearing the packaging, deducting the recipient's problems such as the quantity and weight of the product received.

The Best Bags for Packaging Caustic Soda

The best bag material for packing caustic soda in polyethylene bags. The reason for this is that this bag prevents any change in quality, color or any appearance of the caustic soda that the customer buys. On the other hand, the rupture resistance of this type of bag prevents changes in the volume of the product received.

It should be noted that bags made of other materials increase the likelihood of creating conditions for air or moisture to reach the cauldron, which can cause the cauldron to clump and lose quality.

Therefore, the basic packaging of the sack bag is necessary to maintain its quality.

Types of Caustic Soda Packaging

• 25 Kg Bags

  This type of bag has a width of 50 × 80 and is the best possible packaging for caustic soda, especially for export abroad. Corrosion and decay of the yarn along the way, which in turn causes the lid of the bag to open and the lump inside to clog due to contact with air or moisture.

• Jumbo Bags

  This bag model is only for easy handling of cargo sent by moving or transporting machines. In this type of packaging, 25 kg caustic soda bags are placed in a larger package that can hold up to 40 bags. And this bag is suitable for preventing sunlight, air and moisture.

• Pallets

  This packaging model has been created only for easy transportation. In this model, some 25 kg bags of caustic soda are placed on a durable plastic or wooden pallet, and using different materials such as plastic next to each other hold them tight.

  Pallet packaging is suitable for shorter distances or movements with the possibility of not blocking direct sunlight due to the lack of protection (such as jumbo bags).
