Industrial Process Reports About Sodium Hydroxide Sodium Hydroxide is a major inorganic, used in several industries. The majority of its production is used in the manufacture of chemicals, such as propylene oxide and sodium salts, however, the pulp and paper, soap and detergent, and textile industries are also great areas of application. The Intratec portfolio (www.intratec.us/our-portfolio) includes reports examining specific Sodium
