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

Lye solutions, typically aqueous solutions of sodium hydroxide (NaOH), are used in various industrial and household applications. They are primarily employed in the production of soap, detergents, and as drain cleaners. Lye solutions are also used in chemical manufacturing, water treatment, and in the food industry for processing certain foods. Despite their utility, lye solutions are highly corrosive and pose 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.
