  2. Lye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lye

    Lye is a hydroxide, either sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. The word lye most accurately refers to sodium hydroxide (NaOH), [citation needed] but historically has been conflated to include other alkali materials, most notably potassium hydroxide (KOH). In order to distinguish between the two, sodium hydroxide may be referred to as soda ...

  3. Saponification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saponification

    Typically aqueous sodium hydroxide solutions are used. [1] [2] It is an important type of alkaline hydrolysis. When the carboxylate is long chain, its salt is called a soap. The saponification of ethyl acetate gives sodium acetate and ethanol: C 2 H 5 O 2 CCH 3 + NaOH → C 2 H 5 OH + NaO 2 CCH 3

  4. Drano - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drano

    Liquid Drano was introduced in response to Clorox's purchase of Liquid-Plumr in 1969. Originally, it was simply a liquid lye (sodium hydroxide). In the late 1970s, the product was reformulated as a combination of liquid lye and sodium hypochlorite. Sodium hypochlorite is used in low (5%) concentration as laundry bleach and in higher ...

  5. Sodium hydroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_hydroxide

    Sodium hydroxide, also known as lye and caustic soda, [1] [2] is an inorganic compound with the formula NaOH. It is a white solid ionic compound consisting of sodium cations Na + and hydroxide anions OH −. Sodium hydroxide is a highly corrosive base and alkali that decomposes lipids and proteins at ambient temperatures and may cause severe ...

  6. Saponification value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saponification_value

    Handmade soap makers who aim for bar soap use sodium hydroxide (NaOH), commonly known as lye, rather than KOH (caustic potash) which produces soft paste, gel or liquid soaps. In order to calculate the lye amount needed to make bar soap, KOH values of SV can be converted to NaOH values by dividing KOH values by the ratio of the molecular weights ...

  7. Chemical drain cleaners - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_drain_cleaners

    Otherwise, the lye itself will absorb water and actually create a mass itself, exacerbating the clog issue. [4] Liquid formulations of corrosive alkaline drain cleaners can contain sodium hypochlorite and lye (sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide) in concentrations up to 50 percent. Other corrosive mixtures come as two-part cleaners that are ...

  8. Sodium tallowate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_tallowate

    This process, called saponification, breaks down the triglyceride (fat); frees the glycerol within; and, results in a sodium salt, sodium tallowate. It is usually combined with sodium cocoate, the sodium salt of coconut oil. Together, they are—with sodium palmate—major constituents of bar soap.

  9. List of alchemical substances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_alchemical_substances

    Lye – potash in a water solution, formed by leaching wood ashes. Potash – potassium carbonate, formed by evaporating lye; also called salt of tartar. K 2 CO 3; Pearlash – formed by baking potash in a kiln. Milk of sulfur (lac sulphuris) – formed by adding an acid to thion hudor (lime sulfur). Natron/soda ash/soda – sodium carbonate ...
