Lye Sodium Hydroxide 5 Lbs of FCC /99% Pure Food Grade Sodium Hydroxide Lye Micro Pearls(for Soap Making)

Great price - best I could find anywhere at the time (except for perhaps much larger quantities). I use this to make soap and have had no issues whatsoever. The container is ideal as well.

This product was destined for use on a clogged drain. There was a very strong chemical smell on opening the container which made it seem like it had to be high strength. Seemed to help drain. Haven't tried a lot of it yet because of concerns over whether high concentrations would ruin the plumbing somehow. The product itself looks like little tiny balls, as opposed to a fluffy powder that floats in the air.Be careful about pouring. It is very easy to get granules on the hands, which then become extremely slippery after contact with water.

I bought this for soap making and for that it worked really well. The only reason why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is that this product in bead form is susceptible to jumping around because of static. It comes in a plastic container and when poured into a plastic measuring cup, the beads jumped around, many landing outside the measuring cup. The next time I used it I poured the beads into a glass measuring cup which was better. I imagine if anti-static containers were used the beads would be easier to handle safely.

I like the pour spout. Sometimes there is static, so I always set a dryer sheet under container that I’m pouring into-works great!

I like this lye however the beads become static and stick to everything.

I made cold process lye soap with this product...it works great!

exactly what I wanted

Wonderful
