Lye (potassium hydroxide) is a corrosive material used in making soap, some food products, in fuel cells, and in making bio diesel fuel. Shipment is only made in a certified plastic container. The approved plastic container is made from durable high quality HDPE with a plastic twist-off re-sealable cap. The benefit of this plastic container is that you may maintain the product in a place you otherwise may not (like your garage), because the re-sealable container inhibits the entry of moisture, so that your product stays dry and loose. Potassium Hydroxide is hydrophilic which means that it not only attracts moisture and water but it actively absorbs any moisture or water to which it is exposed.

There are inherent risks associated with the handling, storage and use of all chemicals, especially caustics such as Potassium Hydroxide. Observe all necessary safety precautions, as outlined in the MSDS for that product. Please use our products only in a safe, responsible and legal manner, as Alternative Gas Solutions is not responsible for the end-use or disposition of this product. By Purchasing from us you automatically and legally agree to these terms.
