Caustic Soda Beads

• Helps to solubilize acidic compounds
• Assists in reducing the corrosivity of water based drilling fluids
• Increases the hydration rate of dispersed clays
• Restrict the solubility of lime, in lime based muds

Caustic Soda Beads are a strong alkali and produces a strong basic solution. The reaction with water generates heat.

Caustic Soda Beads will cause severe burns and skin/eye contact is to be avoided at all times. To avoid contact, wear a protective apron, full clothing, rubber gloves, goggles and face mask.

In the event of contact wash immediately with water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if burning persists or if the contacted area is inflamed.

*DANGER* Always add Caustic Soda to the water and watch for bubbling and splashing.
