Certified Lye™ sells dry solid lye as 99.99% pure sodium hydroxide microbeads. The remaining .01% of the mass within the canister is water vapor pulled from the air, due to the intense hygroscopic properties of lye. Never leave lye exposed to open air; replace the lid when not in use. If the lid is repeatedly left off of the canister for extended periods of time, the lye microbeads may eventually pull enough water vapor from the air to become moist and the microbeads of lye may cake together.
Certified Lye™ sells an extremely high-quality lye, which is manufactured in the USA and is intended primarily for use in making soap. Our high-quality lye meets the FCC and USDA standards for food uses, such as curing olives, hominy, century eggs, lutefisk and poaching German pretzels. Lower grades of lye are commonly used as drain openers and as oven cleaners.
Certified Lye™ packages high-quality sodium hydroxide microbeads in 20-ounce (1.25-pound) plastic canisters, which are designed for resale. The 20-ounce plastic canisters are sealed with re-usable screw lids to prevent moisture damage. Generally, 20 ounces of lye (sodium hydroxide) will make approximately ten pounds of soap, which may be cut into about 40 regular size bars of soap. View photo of lye canister.
