Examples of professional applications in various industries:

• Chemical Industry - Production of Soaps and Detergents: Sodium hydroxide is used as an important component in the production of soaps and detergents. It acts as a strong alkaline impurity that saponifies fats to form soaps and other cleaning agents.
• Paper Industry - Processing Wood into Paper: Sodium hydroxide is used in the kraft process to produce pulp from wood. It helps remove lignin and release the cellulose fibers necessary for paper production.
• Petroleum Industry - Cleaning and Refining of Petroleum Products: Sodium hydroxide is used in the petroleum industry to remove sulfur compounds and purify petroleum products. It helps eliminate unwanted impurities and improve the quality of the final products.
• Textile industry - Textile processing and dyeing: Sodium hydroxide is used in the textile industry for cleaning and refining fibers such as cotton. It is also used in dyeing processes to improve dye uptake and create vibrant, long-lasting colors.
• Food industry - Production of cocoa and chocolate products: Sodium hydroxide is used in the food industry for cocoa processing. It is used in a process known as 'Dutching' to regulate pH, enhance flavor, and increase the solubility of cocoa powder.

Recommended storage conditions:

1. Store in a dry and ventilated place.
2. Protect from moisture and sudden temperature changes.
3. Keep away from ignition sources and sparks.
4. Store in sealed containers or bags to prevent dust accumulation.
5. Keep away from chemicals that could contaminate it.

Sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from flammable materials and reactive substances. It should be kept in the original sealed packaging to avoid moisture and contamination. The storage temperature should not exceed 40°C. Container labeling according to chemical regulations is also required.
