Overview

Sodium Hydroxide AR 500g Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) AR (Analytical Reagent) grade is a high-purity form used extensively in labs for titrations, preparing precise solutions, and various research like cell staining; industrially, it’s crucial for soap making (saponification), paper/textile processing, pH control, water treatment, and as a powerful degreaser in oven/drain cleaners, thanks to its strong alkaline nature that dissolves fats and neutralizes acids. Key Uses of NaOH AR Grade In Laboratories & Research: Titrations: Standardizing acid solutions (e.g., with phenolphthalein indicator) to determine concentrations. Solution Preparation: Making accurate, high-purity solutions for experiments. Cell Biology: Used in cell staining, decellularization, and DNA extraction. Water Analysis: Adjusting pH in analytical procedures. Industrial & Manufacturing: Soap & Detergents: Key ingredient in saponification (reacts with fats/oils to form soap). Paper & Pulp: Processing wood pulp and textiles. C
