DIYChemicals Sodium Hydroxide – CAS# 1310-73-2
Also commonly known and referred to as Caustic Soda, NaOH, and Lye, is a commodity chemical that you can order directly from DIYChemical’s online store. Regardless of what name you use when talking about Sodium Hydroxide, it is not to be confused with Potassium Hydroxide (which we also stock for you). High purity Sodium Hydroxide finds usage with soap-makers, metal etching, hobbyists, and small business users.
- Multiple resealable packaged sizes, ranging from 2lbs to 1440lbs.
- Satisfaction guaranteed, packaged in Texas!
With no additives or fillers, you can use Lye in almost every industry. Common usages include soap making (in both hot and cold processes), changing pH in formulations, drain cleaning, equipment cleaning (storage tanks, process equipment, etc…), and metal etching.
No matter your application, it is important to remember that you could do everything correctly in your formulation, but still have a bad finished product if you use low quality starting components. That is why no matter what usage you have planned, it is important to purchase pure, quality, raw materials. Choose this product today for all of your needs, and be sure to read all safety data on the labels and Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
Important Notice: This product is not intended for food, pharmaceutical, or personal care applications.
Safety Information: Please refer to the free Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed information on the safe handling and potential hazards of Sodium Hydroxide.

NOT SHIPPED TO THE RIGHT ADDRESS!!!! I put my address in which is in Florida and it says someone else signed for it in Texas!!!
Anthony Lodi (store manager) –
Hello Brodee,
Good day. I believe this issue has already been resolved. The item was damaged in transit, and I filed a claim with FedEx regarding the matter. As discussed, we were able to offer you a replacement, but you chose to proceed with a refund instead. I also clarified that the item was not shipped to the wrong address—it was returned to us due to the damage.
Thank you!

I ordered 10 pounds of Sodium Hydroxide and they shipped it within 24 hours. The price was one of the lowest available online, and when I used it for soapmaking it was excellent. It dissolves very quickly and leaves very little residue. Would definitely order again!
Lori Williams (verified owner) –
Easy to order and got here quickly. Thank you
Bridgett Pilgrim (verified owner) –
I took photos of item, box was wet and chemicals bottle top had come off of 2 bottles and the lye was all over the other bottles and in the box. It was all over the other bottles and had hardened. Very dangerous stuff. So after cleaning everything up I ended up with about half the amount of what I ordered. Was very disappointed. I felt the top were not on tight enough and should have had additional support to ensure tops did not come off product. Especially this type of produce.
Anthony Lodi (store manager) –

I have not received it yet. It has been held up at FedEx due to an unreadable bar code. I called them and thought it got moving again, but now they are saying I should hopefully receive it within the next week. Something about high volume. I don’t know what else to do at this point. I needed it last week.

Found my new lye supplier! So much more convenient to buy a bucket verse little bottles. I’ve already made soap with this lye. Perfect!
Paulette (verified owner) –
I purchased the sodium hydroxide to make soap. Have made two batches so far and am pleased with results. I am in my 70’s and did have a difficult time opening the plastic jars. I understand the need for the safety, so just commenting. I was able to finally open with a lot of prayer and some creative ingenuity . Good price for the 10 lbs.

Fast shipping, great customer and excellent product.
I have a small business called Piccard Handcrafted Essentials LLC, of handmade skin care products.
My only regret is not finding this amazing company before.
I highly recommend their Sodium Hydroxide for artisan Soap bars and then I would try Potassium Hydroxide for liquid soap.
They also have other products that I use for lotions and perfume as well.
If you are a small business owners of skin care products, this is a great place to shop online.
I would rated them 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.

Shipping was extremely slow with excuses that didn’t make sense about bottle problems even though the label had been created and was “ready” for pick up for over a week. Hopefully the lye gets here it will be good.

Maggie Davis (verified owner) –
This was my second purchase of sodium hydroxide from DIY Chemicals. I own and operate Olive Blossom Soap Co and I make a lot of soap. Using high quality products is a top priority for myself and my customers. The lye is perfectly granulated with no clumps and has NO static whatsoever, which I appreciate, as jumpy lye is a pain to work with! It also came with a convenient scoop! Customer service is also top-notch and the price is on point, too. I’ll be a return customer!
