Answer:It is sodium hydroxide, NaOH, supplied as pellets.
Answer:It is supplied in Merck’s EMPROVE ESSENTIAL line.
Answer:The grade complies with standards including Ph Eur, BP, FCC, ChP, JP, NF and E524.
Answer:The CAS number is 1310-73-2.
Answer:The molecular weight is 40.00 g/mol.
Merck sodium hydroxide pellets in the EMPROVE® ESSENTIAL line provide a compendial-grade strong base for laboratory, formulation and process-support applications that require documented raw-material quality. Sodium hydroxide is widely used for pH adjustment, neutralization, cleaning-solution preparation and preparation of buffers or process solutions when the procedure specifies NaOH. The material has the formula NaOH, CAS number 1310-73-2 and a molecular weight of 40.00 g/mol. The grade complies with multiple pharmacopoeial and food standards, including Ph Eur, BP, FCC, ChP, JP, NF and E524, making it useful where documented compendial conformity is important. Because sodium hydroxide is strongly caustic and readily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide, it should be handled with suitable personal protection and kept tightly closed according to the current safety and storage instructions.
Unless otherwise stated, the minimum order amount is USD 1,000.
For orders below USD 1,000, an additional handling fee may apply, or we may arrange local delivery / local handover where available.
