Sodium Hydroxide, also known as Lye or Caustic Soda, is a highly versatile inorganic compound with the formula NaOH. It appears as a white, solid, ionic substance composed of Sodium cations and Hydroxide anions. This product contains 100% concentrated Sodium Hydroxide flakes, ideal for various industrial, cleaning, and DIY applications.

Key Benefits of Sodium Hydroxide:

• Soap and Detergent Production: An essential ingredient in cold process and hot process soap making.

• Household Cleaning: Commonly found in products like liquid drain cleaners for its ability to break down organic matter.

• Multi-Purpose Use: Also used in fabric processing, water treatment, and other chemical formulations.

How to Use Sodium Hydroxide:

• Soap Making: Carefully measure and mix with water to create Lye solution as part of cold or hot process soap recipes. Always add Lye to water, never the other way around.

• Cleaning Applications: Dilute appropriately for use in drain cleaners and heavy-duty degreasers. Follow safety guidelines.

Caution: Sodium Hydroxide is a highly caustic substance. Always wear appropriate protective gear including gloves and goggles when handling. Use in a well-ventilated area and store out of reach of children.

Storage Instructions: Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from moisture and incompatible materials.

Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic Soda) is a must-have for experienced DIY soap makers and heavy-duty cleaning applications. Handle with care and respect for powerful, effective results.
