At 32% it is a clear, colourless, strongly alkaline liquid that can be pumped and dosed directly, with no dissolving step and none of the heat released when solid caustic is mixed with water.<\/p>\n<p>Buyers choose the 32% strength for several practical reasons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>it is ready to use for pH adjustment and neutralisation in water and effluent treatment;<\/li>\n<li>it is a common strength for cleaning-in-place (CIP) in dairy and food plants;<\/li>\n<li>it regenerates anion exchange resins in demineralisation units;<\/li>\n<li>it serves soap, detergent, textile, pulp and paper and oil refining processes;<\/li>\n<li>it stays liquid in cooler conditions where stronger 50% lye can crystallise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If your plant already dilutes stronger caustic on site, compare it with <a href='https:\/\/anflointerchem.shop\/product\/liquid-caustic-soda-lye-50-sodium-hydroxide-lye-50-2\/'>Liquid Caustic Soda Lye 50%<\/a> before you decide.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"s2\">Liquid Caustic Soda Lye 32% \/ Sodium Hydroxide Lye 32% Specifications to Confirm<\/h2>\n<p>Ask every supplier for a specification sheet and a certificate of analysis (COA) per lot covering at least:<\/p>\n<table class='anflo-tbl'>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Parameter<\/th>\n<th>What buyers usually request<\/th>\n<th>Why it matters<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>NaOH content<\/td>\n<td>32% by weight, with a stated tolerance<\/td>\n<td>Sets how much active caustic you pay for<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sodium carbonate (Na<sub>2<\/sub>CO<sub>3<\/sub>)<\/td>\n<td>Low, stated as a maximum<\/td>\n<td>Forms when lye absorbs CO<sub>2<\/sub>; reduces strength<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sodium chloride (NaCl)<\/td>\n<td>Low, stated as a maximum<\/td>\n<td>Chloride matters in boilers, stainless steel and food use<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Iron (Fe)<\/td>\n<td>Low ppm level<\/td>\n<td>Iron can discolour products<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Density at 20 \u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>About 1.35 g\/cm\u00b3<\/td>\n<td>Converts tank litres into kilograms of product<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Grades made by the membrane cell process usually have lower chloride than older processes.

Because the product is 68% water, the most useful comparison is the cost per ton of 100% NaOH. Divide the price per metric ton of solution by 0.32: at our list price of USD 295 per ton of lye, that works out to roughly USD 922 per ton of sodium hydroxide on a dry basis.<\/p>\n<p>Use the same calculation for every offer you receive, including <a href=\"https:\/\/anflointerchem.shop\/product\/caustic-soda-98-sodium-hydroxide-98-flakes-2\/\">caustic soda flakes 98%<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/anflointerchem.shop\/product\/caustic-soda-pearls-99-sodium-hydroxide-pearls-99-2\/\">caustic soda pearls 99%<\/a>. Then add:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Freight.<\/strong> With lye you also ship the water, so sea freight per ton of NaOH is higher than for flakes or pearls.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Packaging.<\/strong> Drums add cost per ton compared with bulk tanks, but most importing sites need them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Handling on site.<\/strong> Solid caustic needs dissolving equipment, labour and safety controls; liquid lye avoids that.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Import duty and local charges<\/strong> at your destination.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class='anflo-blog-callout'><strong>Rule of thumb:<\/strong> liquid lye often makes sense for sites close to the supplier or for users who value ready-to-dose convenience.

At a density of about 1.35 g\/cm\u00b3, a 250 kg drum holds roughly 185 litres. When you buy Liquid Caustic Soda Lye 32% \/ Sodium Hydroxide Lye 32% in drums, plan for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>chemical-resistant drum pumps or a transfer system rated for strong alkalis;<\/li>\n<li>a bunded, covered storage area away from acids, aluminium, zinc and other incompatible metals;<\/li>\n<li>keeping drums sealed, because caustic absorbs carbon dioxide from air and slowly loses strength;<\/li>\n<li>full protective equipment, including face shield, gloves and eye-wash stations near the point of use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sodium hydroxide solution ships as dangerous goods: UN 1824, Class 8 (corrosive). Your SDS, labels and dangerous-goods declaration must match.
