When it comes to essential base chemicals in global and Iranian industries, one of the first names that comes to mind is Caustic Soda Liquid 50% in 220L Drums. Known scientifically as Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), this strong alkali has been a cornerstone for decades in industries such as oil, gas, petrochemicals, paper, detergents, and water treatment.
Packaging in 220L drums is the standard choice for factories with high and continuous consumption, seeking a balance between stable quality, warehouse safety, and transport convenience. This article explains why Caustic Soda Liquid 50% in this packaging is the best choice for bulk purchase and export: its features, industrial applications, storage and handling guidelines, and most importantly, details on price, buying, selling, and export.
The 50% concentration is considered the golden standard. It’s not too concentrated to make handling and storage risky, and not too diluted to lower its dosing efficiency. This balance has made 220L drums the preferred choice in both domestic and export contracts.
From a logistics perspective, the 220L drum has advantages. It fits easily on pallets, simplifies container loading, and is smaller than bulk tanks, making it more practical for smaller facilities. This packaging is recognized at all ports and customs, complying with international standards for transporting corrosive chemicals.
Quality and safety are the pillars of any chemical purchase. Caustic Soda Liquid 50% offers features that make it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications:
| Property | Description |

| Chemical Formula | NaOH |
| Concentration | 50% w/w |
| Appearance | Colorless to slightly cloudy liquid, odorless |
| Packaging | 220L polyethylene or coated steel drum |
| Net Weight per Drum | Approx. 280 kg solution |
| Supplying Brand | Caustic Soda (quality control & COA included) |
| Storage Conditions | Cool, dry environment, away from acids and oxidizers |
One of the most important applications of Caustic Soda Liquid 50% is in water treatment plants. It adjusts pH levels, improving disinfection efficiency and the precipitation of dissolved metals. The WHO guidelines on drinking water highlight safe pH ranges and the role of caustic soda in achieving them.
In papermaking, caustic soda plays a key role in separating lignin from cellulose. It provides the alkaline environment needed for producing whiter and more uniform pulp. As noted in Britannica, sodium hydroxide is essential in this process.
From alkaline washing of refinery streams to stabilizing drilling fluids, Caustic Soda Liquid 50% is vital. It neutralizes acidic compounds, reduces equipment corrosion, and supports wastewater treatment. For water quality standards in industry, see the EPA guidelines.
In producing soaps and liquid detergents, caustic soda is the foundation of saponification. The 50% concentration enables precise dosing in formulations, minimizing the need for additional dilution.
Caustic soda solution is used for peeling certain fruits and vegetables, as well as in chocolate and beverage processing. These applications are strictly regulated under food safety standards.
“Caustic Soda Liquid can keep your production line running smoothly, but if safety rules are ignored, it can just as quickly become a hazard.”
Iran is one of the largest producers of caustic soda in the region. Domestic capacity ensures stable supply for local industries while enabling exports to countries such as Turkey, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Central Asia. The 220L drum is designed for these trade routes and recognized as a standard shipping unit in international contracts.
The price is influenced by multiple factors: concentration and quality, domestic or export freight, currency rates, and the global chlor-alkali market. For industrial buyers, Certificates of Analysis (COA) and batch traceability are critical for ensuring reliable quality.
Simply specify your monthly or seasonal consumption. The sales team coordinates production and delivery accordingly. For exports, logistics to the border or port and preparation of international shipping documents are arranged simultaneously.
