Three good hose choices for lye

Lye is a strongly alkaline chemical compound used in many different industries. It is made from wood or sea water, for example. Lye is used, for example, in the manufacture of soap, paper and textiles, because it breaks down fats and oils into glycerin and fatty acids. It is also used in the food industry for disinfection.

It is important to note that the use of lye requires special caution and protective equipment, as it is a strongly alkaline substance that can cause serious burns and skin irritation. The safe use of lye hose must be taken into account in industrial processes, and it is important to inspect hoses carefully before use. Also note that lye or lye-containing rinse water may remain in the hose. Therefore, the lye must be transferred with inspected hoses and the right type of fittings. So let's remember to be careful when handling lye! We help with the planning of hose management and safe use.
