Product Overview

Product description

Miles® Caustic Soda Beads are white, free-flowing solid sodium hydroxide in bead (pearl) form. The beads dissolve quickly in water, releasing heat.

They are used in drain and industrial cleaners, soap and detergent making, pH adjustment, water treatment, and chemical manufacturing. The product is hygroscopic and absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from the air, so keep containers tightly closed.
