Sodium Hydroxide, also known as Lye and soda, is a hygroscopic inorganic chemical that appears as a white corrosive crystalline solid. It's also known as "caustic" due to its strong basic nature and produces a lot of heat when mixed with water or neutralized with an acid. Sodium Hydroxide Beads are more uniform in shape and size as compared to the Sodium Hydroxide flakes. On the basis of its purity, Lab Alley’s premium quality Sodium Hydroxide is certified by the FCC (Food Chemicals Codex). Lab Alley is selling its premium quality Sodium Hydroxide Beads, Food Grade (FCC) in the United States of America and highly recommends to use this product in a variety of food processing applications.

Sodium hydroxide, also known as lye and caustic soda, is an inorganic compound with the formula NaOH. It is a white solid ionic compound consisting of sodium cations Na⁺ and hydroxide anions OH⁻ .

At room temperature, sodium hydroxide is a white crystalline odorless solid that absorbs moisture from the air. It is a manufactured substance. When dissolved in water or neutralized with acid it liberates substantial heat, which may be sufficient to ignite combustible materials. Sodium hydroxide is very corrosive. It is generally used as a solid or a 50% solution. Other common names include caustic soda and lye. Sodium hydroxide is used to manufacture soaps, rayon, paper, explosives, dyestuffs, and petroleum products. It is also used in processing cotton fabric, laundering and bleaching, metal cleaning and processing, oxide coating, electroplating, and electrolytic extracting. It is commonly present in commercial drain and oven cleaners.
