Product Purity and GradesSodium Hydroxide Pellets GR feature a guaranteed minimum purity of 98%, adhering to strict analytical standards for laboratory environments. The high-grade quality ensures reliable and consistent results in chemical analysis, synthesis, and titration applications. The pellets solid form allows for easy and precise handling, reducing the risk of spillage and contamination in critical workflows.
Safety and Handling PrecautionsDue to its strong caustic properties, Sodium Hydroxide Pellets should always be handled with caution. Wear protective gloves, clothing, and eye/face protection as indicated by hazard statement H314 and precautionary code P280. Store in tightly closed containers away from incompatible substances such as acids, organic materials, metals, and water, as it reacts exothermically and is highly deliquescent.
Applications and BenefitsThis product is specifically formulated for analytical and laboratory use, excelling in chemical synthesis, titrations, pH adjustments, and sample preparation. The highly soluble pellets offer rapid dissolution in water, making them suitable for preparing alkaline solutions. Their consistent quality and shelf life of 36 months (when stored properly) make them dependable for research and industrial laboratories.
FAQs of Sodium Hydroxide Pellets GR:
Q: How should Sodium Hydroxide Pellets GR be safely handled in the laboratory?
A: Always handle Sodium Hydroxide Pellets GR with protective gloves, suitable clothing, and eye or face protection due to their corrosive nature. Work in a well-ventilated area, avoid direct contact with skin or eyes, and never breathe in dust. Follow all safety protocols as outlined by hazard statement H314 and precautionary statement P280.
Q: What are the recommended storage conditions for Sodium Hydroxide Pellets GR?
A: Store the pellets in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keep away from acids, organic materials, metals, and water, as sodium hydroxide is highly reactive and absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from air. Proper storage ensures product stability for up to 36 months.
Q: When should Sodium Hydroxide Pellets GR be used in applications?
A: Use Sodium Hydroxide Pellets GR when high-purity alkali is essential, such as in laboratory analysis, titration, chemical synthesis, or pH adjustments in solutions. It is suitable solely for analytical and laboratory use, not for any application involving direct human or animal contact.
Q: Where can Sodium Hydroxide Pellets GR be applied within laboratory workflows?
A: These pellets find extensive use in preparing alkaline solutions, neutralizing acids, sample preparation, and chemical synthesis steps. Their guaranteed reagent grade (GR) makes them ideal for research laboratories, educational institutions, and industrial testing facilities.
Q: What processes should be followed when dissolving Sodium Hydroxide Pellets in water?
A: Dissolve pellets slowly in water with constant stirring, as dissolution is highly exothermic and can release significant heat. Always add the sodium hydroxide to water, never the reverse, to prevent violent reactions or splattering. Use appropriately resistant containers and work under safe conditions.
Q: How does the product benefit laboratory experiments and chemical synthesis?
A: The high purity and reliable composition of Sodium Hydroxide Pellets GR ensure reproducible experimental results and accurate analytical data. Their rapid dissolution aids efficiency, while the minimal impurities reduce risks of contaminating sensitive chemical processes, benefiting both accuracy and safety.
