Data on Roebic: MSDA Not sure what the 1% means @ bottom? they list their lye as being 100% but it has Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Carbonate. Then 1% of a carcinogenic? not sure what that is? as I understand it they can add 1% of Toxic Substance w/ out naming what it is? maybe some one else would know?

I'm not sure about any of the lye - mentioned here to be honest. I prefer food grade lye - that way I know there's no metals in there. I have been buying from Duda Diesel for the past 3 years - before that I bought from the Lye Guy, but his shipping was really expensive!
I've used Roebic 100% Lye & it works great w/ no problems & in a pinch ill use it again. However I've switched to food grade Lye in that its only allowed to have Sodium Hydroxide & Sodium Carbonate to be considered food grade. is what Ive read & understand to be, but im not entirely sure.
