was recently very happy to read about lye availability at local home hardware stores. but furthermore research leads me to believe that this is not 100% lye. this thread states that HH lye is 95-100% https://www.dmt-nexus.me....aspx?g=posts&t=1674 after finding HH lye MDMS sheet on their website it was confirmed, although it dont list what the other 0-5% is.

http://msds.homehardware...ile.asp?s=133558&v=2

for canadians using this lye be advised. is it safe to use.

thank you, you beautiful handed people you.

I recently purchased some from soapandmore.com. I thought it would be ok but after seeing your thread I checked my MSDS. For the lye that I purchased the ingredient is listed at 99%, though the MSDS does not list any other ingredients. The ingredient name (I think the same may apply for HH lye) lists the ingredient as Sodium Hydoxide - NaOH (95-99%), again however the ingredient is listed at 99% in another column. I think further clarification on what lye is acceptable to use would be beneficial. I have not used the lye that I purchased.

Here are some other online sources to purchase lye. However, bearing in mind that further confirmation on acceptable lye would be a good idea before purchasing.

Food grade lye is- 95-100% Sodium Hydroxide and <3% Sodium Carbonate or so says the MSDS that came with the NAOH the SWIM recently received.

I was wondering, as I also don't really trust the sources of lye I've been able to find in Canada, if I could simply make my own?

Calcium hydroxide + sodium carbonate = sodium hydroxide? Am I wrong?

I have been using lye bought from Home Hardware as Privy Cleaner, I will post a pic of it on here soon. It seems to be pure, it has been working fine atleast.

We don't have a home hardware in my town, but I'll have to check that out. I just want to make sure I'm getting relatively pure lye.

You are A-Ok. The only foodgrade lye MSDS ive seen is classified over 99%. The MSDS listed on that site is not for foodgrade - just for the regular stuff. The foodgrade MSDS link just has a certificate with a signature.

Again, an expert opinion would be nice.
