  Sodium hydroxide is a hazardous substance, commonly known as caustic soda, caustic soda, or caustic soda. It is a highly corrosive strong alkali, usually in the form of flakes or particles, which is easily soluble in water and forms an alkaline solution. It can also be soluble in methanol and ethanol. It also has deliquescence and is easy to absorb water vapor from the air. Sodium hydroxide also has different applications and is one of the essential chemicals in chemical laboratories, as well as one of the common chemical products.

  Since it is a hazardous material, it is necessary to pay more attention to its storage and transportation. Drivers and escorts must undergo specialized training, hold certificates, and strictly follow operating procedures. Before installing caustic soda on the vehicle, check the condition of the vehicle to ensure that it is in good condition. Loading personnel must wear rubber acid and alkali resistant clothing and rubber acid and alkali resistant gloves. When transporting, it is necessary to load and unload gently to prevent damage to the packaging and containers, avoid dust generation, avoid contact with acids, and strictly prohibit mixing with acids. After loading, the vehicle must be sealed to prevent moisture during transportation. After unloading, timely clean the residual caustic soda on the vehicle to avoid flying. If you have caustic soda on your body, clean it first and then rinse with plenty of water.

  Sodium hydroxide solution is one of the common chemical products, and fluoroplastic pumps can be considered for transportation of such corrosive liquids. Sodium hydroxide pump is a self priming centrifugal pump, which has advantages such as compact structure, convenient operation, stable operation, easy maintenance, high efficiency, long service life, and strong self priming ability. There is no need to install a bottom valve in the pipeline. Before working, it is only necessary to ensure that there is a fixed amount of liquid in the sodium hydroxide pump body. The lift can reach 35 meters and the flow rate is 1100L/min. Integrated self priming bucket, without welding points, more corrosion-resistant. Stainless steel shaft for higher stability. The use of FRPP raw material can withstand high temperatures up to 120 degrees, and the use of Dongyuan motor is more stable and has a longer service life.
