FAQ

What is sodium hydroxide used for?

Sodium hydroxide (also known as lye or caustic soda) is commonly used in soap making, biodiesel production, drain cleaning, home crafting, and various industrial applications.

What form does this sodium hydroxide come in?

It comes in bead form—small, uniform pellets that are easier to measure, pour, and dissolve than flakes or powder, while producing less dust.

How pure is this sodium hydroxide?

Our product is 99%+ pure, making it ideal for soap making and other applications requiring high-purity lye.

What type of container does it come in?

It is packaged in a heavy-duty, resealable pail featuring a vapor-lock lid that helps protect the beads from moisture and humidity.

Why is a vapor-lock lid important?

Sodium hydroxide is highly hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture from the air. The vapor-lock lid helps maintain product integrity and keeps the beads free-flowing.

What safety precautions should I take?

Always use gloves, goggles, and protective clothing. Avoid breathing dust. Never mix with water unless following proper dilution protocols—always add lye to water, never water to lye.

What should I do in case of skin contact?

Immediately rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and remove contaminated clothing. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
