FAQs

1. What’s the difference between caustic soda flakes and pearls?
   • Answer: Both are solid forms of sodium hydroxide. Flakes are flat and dissolve quickly, while pearls are rounded granules that dissolve more slowly but offer longer shelf stability.
2. Can this product be used in food applications?
   • Answer: Our caustic soda is industrial grade only and is not suitable for food processing. However, food-grade sodium hydroxide can be available upon request under strict specifications.
3. How do you handle international shipping for hazardous materials like caustic soda?
   • Answer: MDNR RESOURCES provides UN-approved packaging, full Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), and adheres to IMDG/IATA guidelines for hazardous chemical shipping, ensuring compliance and safety in transit.
4. What precautions are required during handling?
   • Answer: Operators should use gloves, goggles, and chemical-resistant clothing. Caustic soda is corrosive and can cause severe skin and eye irritation.
5. Do you offer private labeling or OEM packaging?
   • Answer: Yes, we offer private labeling and OEM packaging solutions for bulk orders, including custom labeling and logo printing to meet your market requirements.
