Packaged in moisture-resistant HDPE, it offers unmatched stability and versatility for professionals and enthusiasts alike. ## Description This is the highest quality food bleach available. Also known as NaOH and Caustic Soda This is an inorganic chemical, at least 99% pure. It is a solid, highly caustic metal base and alkaline salt. Sodium hydroxide is soluble in water, ethanol and methanol. This alkali is deliquescent and easily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide into the air. In soap making: bleach is mixed with water to create a solution of bleach. The bleach solution, when mixed with fats and oils, will cause a chemical reaction called saponification (fancy for soap). The result of saponification is a beautiful handmade soap. In Food Preparation: Sodium hydroxide food uses include the large ash or chemical peeling of fruits and vegetables, chocolate and cocoa processing, caramel coloring production, poultry scald, soda processing, and thickening ice cream. Olives are often soaked in sodium hydroxide to smooth; German pretzels and bleach rolls are enameled with a sodium hydroxide solution before baking to make them crispy. Due to the difficulty in obtaining food grade sodium hydroxide in small quantities for household use, sodium carbonate is often used in place of sodium hydroxide. In cleaning: industrial or technical, grade bleach is often used as a cleaner and is the active ingredient in common drain cleaners. Sodium silicate is often used as a corrosion inhibitor to prevent bleach from running through tubes while removing blockage. Citric acid, or other acids, are often used in coordination with bleach as it creates an exothermic (heat) reaction to leave sodium acetate (a salt) and water. An alternative but less effective alternative is baking soda. Review: Good quality product - Easy to dissolve and odorless Review: Very Good Sodium Hydroxide - This sodium hydroxide is in small pellet form. I’ve used it to make several batches of cold process soap. All have cured beautifully. I normally use the flake style sodium hydroxide and decided to try this. It seems a little more dusty than the flake kind. I always wear gloves when handling, but now put on a mask too and watch out for dust particles. It dissolves just fine. I would purchase this again. Good value for the money, and easy to use. ## Features - HDPE Rechargeable Pot - Premium Quality, Lye Premium - Great for soap making, as a cleanser, or food preparation. - USP/FCC Food Grade ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07KNR9SVF | | Boiling Point | 318 Degrees Celsius | | Boiling point | 318 Degrees Celsius | | Brand | Belle Chemical | | Brand Name | Belle Chemical | | Container Type | Bag | | Country of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 8,207 Reviews | | Item Weight | 0.91 Kilograms | | Item volume | 2 Cups | | Item weight | 0.91 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Belle Chemical | | Model Number | LYEJAR - 32 | | Package information | Bag | | Part Number | LYEJAR - 32 | | Product Grade | USP | | Product grade | USP | | UPC | 857329007773 | | Volume | 2 Cups | ## Product Details - **Boiling point:** 318 Degrees Celsius - **Brand:** Belle Chemical - **Item volume:** 2 Cups - **Item weight:** 0.91 Kilograms - **Product grade:** USP ## Images ![Sodium Hydroxide - Pure - Food Grade (Lye, Baking Soda), White, 2 Pound - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61JCA476kQL.jpg) ![Sodium Hydroxide - Pure - Food Grade (Lye, Baking Soda), White, 2 Pound - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81u5P1Oh05L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: is this used in hide tanning ?** A: Yes, some people use it for hide tanning.
