Most drain openers contain other chemicals in addition to the lye.
Essential Depot's lye does not contain other chemicals.
Those other added chemicals are very undesirable and potentially harmful.
SOAP MAKING
Much better than the usual technical grade lye.
Specifically manufactured into evenly-sized micro pels of pure Sodium Hydroxide.
Evenly-sized micro pels mean an equal saturation of water for each pel.
Equal saturation of each sodium hydroxide particle (the micro pel) means consistent saponification, whether that saponification be in soap making, pretzels, hominy, or any other application.
See our 'Soap Making Troubleshooting Guide' image above for remedies to the most common issues our customers informed us (in response to our inquiries) were experienced. We compiled this information over the last 10 years.
