Sodium Hydroxide / Caustic Soda / Lye

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:

1. 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.
   
   
2. 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.
