Lye (alkaline solution) - Chemical resistance

Lye is a strong alkaline solution, usually containing sodium or potassium hydroxide. It has a high pH and strong cleaning properties. It is used in household and industrial applications as a cleaner, degreaser, and pH adjuster in various processes. Lye is also a key element in the production of soap, where it is combined with fats or oils. Protective equipment should be used when handling lye as it can cause irritation to skin and mucous membranes.
