How To Make 0.5M Sodium Hydroxide Solution For pH Adjustment
Hello everyone,
In this short post, I’m going to show you how to create a 0.5M sodium hydroxide solution for the purpose of pH adjustment.
Our upcoming formulation for December 2022 calls for this solution, here is how to prepare it.
Dissolve 20g of NAOH (Sodium Hydroxide) in 1000g of distilled water. Allow it to cool down before bottling it.
To make smaller amount, dissolve 2g of NAOH (Sodium Hydroxide) in 100g of water , allow to cool and bottle.
You will be using this solution to adjust the pH of our upcoming moisturizing glycolic acid shampoo.
Please protect yourself when making this, it is essential you wear gloves and protective wears when working with sodium hydroxide.
Caution!
Do not add water to sodium hydroxide, add sodium hydroxide to water.
