Industrial Alkalis
Industrial alkalis are bulk basic chemicals used for pH adjustment, neutralisation, saponification, pulp and paper processing, textile mercerising, alumina and soap manufacture, and water treatment. Core lines include caustic soda (sodium hydroxide), caustic potash (potassium hydroxide), soda ash (sodium carbonate), sodium bicarbonate and lime products.
Grades are offered as technical/commercial, rayon, food and reagent quality, with caustic soda supplied as flakes, pearls/prills or as a liquid lye at typical 48-50 percent concentration. Buyers specify minimum assay (for example caustic soda at 98-99 percent for solids), carbonate content, chloride, iron and heavy-metal limits, and the applicable IS or food-grade reference for the intended use. CoA per batch confirms assay and impurity conformity, and HS classification is provided on shipping documentation.
Packaging reflects form and hazard: 25/50 kg bags or jumbo/FIBC bags for solids, HDPE drums, IBCs, road tankers and ISO tanks for liquid lye. Caustic alkalis are corrosive and typically ship under ADR/IMDG controls with the relevant UN number and labelling coordinated where required; soda ash is generally non-regulated.
For EU buyers, REACH registration or an Only Representative pathway and CLP/GHS labelling are coordinated where required, with SDS supplied per consignment. SABER/SASO routing applies for Saudi Arabia, and Indian-side documentation is arranged as needed.
Himalay's verified manufacturer and exporter partners supply industrial alkalis with CoA per batch, SDS, REACH/CLP compliance coordinated for EU, GHS labelling, and SABER for Saudi Arabia handled as part of the standard order flow.
