Description

Sodium Hydroxide Pellets Nf is a highly purified, solid form of sodium hydroxide manufactured to meet the stringent requirements of the National Formulary (NF) monograph. This essential inorganic base is critical for processes demanding high-purity reagents and reliable, consistent performance. It is a fundamental raw material for the pharmaceutical, chemical synthesis, and high-purity manufacturing sectors where quality and regulatory compliance are paramount.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Used as a pH adjuster, alkalizing agent, and reagent in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients, complying with NF standards.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a strong base catalyst and reactant in organic synthesis, saponification, and the production of other sodium salts.
• Laboratory & Analytical Reagent: Serves as a primary standard and reagent in titrations, buffer preparation, and various analytical procedures.
• Water Treatment: Employed for pH neutralization and control in industrial water and wastewater treatment systems.
• Cleaning & Sanitization: Used in the formulation of industrial and institutional cleaning agents and sanitizers.
• Food Processing (as an indirect additive): Utilized in equipment cleaning and certain processing applications where high-purity chemicals are required.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Hydroxide Pellets Nf is manufactured and tested to meet the current National Formulary (NF) monograph specifications, ensuring suitability for pharmaceutical applications. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay, impurity profiling, and physical characterization. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and organic solvents. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture and carbon dioxide. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
