Soap and Detergent - saponifies fats into water-soluble sodium soaps.
Food and Dairy - used in various food processing methods which includes washing and chemical peeling of fruits and vegetables, poultry, soft drink, chocolate processing, cocoa processing, and thickening ice cream.
Metal Cleaning - clean metals by saponifying surface oils to create a thin soapy layer, etches the surface of certain types of metals, important preparatory step in many welding or painting applications.
Textile Treatment - aid in scouring, bleaching and neutralizing during textile processing.
General and Industrial Cleaning - strong base used as an alkali source in cleaning agents. As such, it can dissolve grease, oils, fats and protein based deposits. Used also, for example, to clean and prepare sheet steel in galvanizing plants as well as being a chief ingredient for drain pipe cleaners.
Biodiesel and Bioethanol - catalyst for the transesterification of methanol and triglycerides as well as for pH adjustment and formation of in situ sodium methylate to prevent the formation of soap due to the presence of water.
Chemical Production - as a reactive intermediate and catalyst in chemical production as well as in chemical processing plants for scrubbing and drying.
General Industrial - in the manufacture of products ranging from glue, gelatin, grease, and cosmetics to dry batteries, agricultural products, paint, and varnish removers.
Petroleum Exploration - treating agent in oil well drilling fluids to increase viscosity which prevents heavier materials from settling.

BIODIESEL, where quality is critical:
an electrolyte
an efficient catalyst
a cleaner cell bath
more homogeneous gas mix
GENERAL and INDUSTRIAL CLEANING:
dissolves grease, oils, fats and protein based deposits.
as such it is fabulous for grease traps and hoods in kitchens.
METAL CLEANING or ETCHING:
saponifies surface oils to create a thin soapy layer
etches the surface of certain types of metals
the etching capabilities make lye an important preparatory step in many welding or painting applications.
can strip paint
DRAIN CLEANING:
Use caution when purchasing drain openers from other suppliers.
Most drain openers contain other chemicals in addition to the lye.
Essential Depot's lye does not contain other chemicals.
Those other added chemicals are very undesirable and potentially harmful.
SOAP MAKING
Specifically manufactured into evenly-sized micro pels. Evenly-sized micro pels mean an equal saturation of water for each pel. Equal saturation of each micro pel means consistent saponification, whether that saponification be in soap making, pretzels, hominy, or any other application.
