LYE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Lye, also known as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), is a highly caustic white solid used in various industrial and household applications. It is primarily employed in the production of soap, detergents, and as a drain cleaner. Lye is also used in chemical manufacturing, water treatment, and in the food industry for processing certain foods. Despite its utility, lye is highly corrosive and poses significant health risks, including severe skin, eye, and respiratory irritation. Proper handling, storage, and stringent safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential to ensure safe usage and prevent exposure.
