Overview

About Caustic Soda in Australia

Caustic soda, or sodium hydroxide, is a strong alkali supplied as white deliquescent flakes or pearls (solid) and as a liquid solution. It is a workhorse chemical used in textile and paper processing, soap and cleaning manufacture, water treatment and pH adjustment, and a wide range of process chemistry.

Zentish Exim supplies caustic soda sourced from qualified Indian producers, with certificates of analysis and safety data sheets. Flakes and pearls are supplied as standard, with liquid 32% and 50% available on request. Caustic soda is a corrosive Class 8 material (UN 1823) and is packaged and shipped under applicable dangerous-goods rules.

Australia imports these materials for water treatment, mining, coatings and processing, with industrial introduction regulated under AICIS (formerly NICNAS). Sydney (Port Botany), Melbourne, Brisbane and Fremantle are the main ports; air freight runs 5-8 days and ocean 18-28 days.
