Caution
Sodium Hydroxide Solution 50% (also known as caustic lye, caustic soda, or sodium hydrate) is a white solid that is mostly utilised as caustic soda. It is one of the most significant chemicals in industry. In drain cleaners, solid sodium hydroxide, combined with aluminium chips, is a necessary component. The strong base, when dissolved in water, oxidised aluminium by heat and hydrogen evolution, then saponified lipids and proteins in the deposits.
