When flakes win

Choose flakes when you lack liquid storage, order intermittently under ~1–2 MT/month, or need long shelf life in dry stores. 25 kg bags from Vadodara stock suit GIDC plant rooms with limited tanker access. Factor dissolving time, PPE and local corrosion around dissolve tanks into labour cost.

When lye 47% wins

Liquid caustic soda lye (~47%) wins on continuous ETPs with day tanks or bulk storage — lower handling labour, accurate metering pumps, fewer dissolve-related safety events. Compare on a 100% NaOH basis, not wet kg. Include freight for drums vs tanker and GST documentation from your Vadodara supplier.

Decision checklist

Score storage capability, monthly tonnage, labour availability, and spill response. Drashti Chemicals supplies both flakes and lye-related caustic options with COA — use the quote cart to price your preferred pack for Makarpura, Savli or Ankleshwar delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is caustic soda flakes or lye better for ETP pH correction?

Lye is usually lower TCO for continuous plants with storage; flakes suit intermittent use and bagged logistics. Compare on NaOH assay and handling labour, not bag price alone.
