Sodium Hydroxide - Pure - Food Grade (Caustic Soda, Lye) (2 Pound Jar)

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Value clean high quality

Simply the best drain cleaner money can buy. Be smart and wear your PPE. Also note the reaction generates heat, so don't use more than directed at any one time.

Product is as described, I use it for soap making. Use safety precautions as directed and no problems should arise!

Great product. Helps cleaning clogged up drains in my place. Strongly recommend.

As advertisedupdate to addgreat lye for cold process soap production.A great value .

Lye is notoriously caustic, but this particular batch need to have something added to it. Compared to previous batches of food grade lye, this product takes longer to heat up, doesn't get as hot, and doesn't foam as much. In fact, the fumes from using this to clean pots and pans smells rather sour. Maybe there is some sort of additive that retards the reaction with water. I was intending to use this for soap, but will probably consult a commercial supplier. It's still fine for cleaning and pretzel blanching, though.

This is an excellent product I use to make cold-process soaps. I highly recommended it to anyone interested in making an artisan quality soap from scratch.

worked perfect for soap
