Lye water is a very strong alkaline solution (pH 13 to 14) that is used for cleaning purposes and for making some Asian food like Chinese noodles or century eggs. Lye water is corrosive and has therefore raised serveral concerns. It is available in Asian groceries and in north Australia.

Red devil lye is a trading name for drain cleaners.The volume of the can is very variable, as wanted the manufacturer, and may begin with a 100 mL can.
I cannot suggest anything without some idea of the purpose, for some things (e.g. soap making) there is no practical substitute for lye.
In Tucson, AZ, you can find Red Devil Lye at local hardware stores, such as Home Depot or Lowe's, as they're known to carry lye products. Additionally, check specialty stores that sell cleaning supplies or chemical products. If you prefer shopping online, major retailers like Amazon may also have it available for delivery. Always ensure to follow safety guidelines when handling lye.
I buy my lye at Essential Depot (essentialdepot.com ) , its food grade and perfect for making pretzels, but I also use it to make soap in my spare time.

No, you should not use Red Devil lye down your kitchen drain. While it is a powerful drain cleaner, it can cause damage to pipes, especially if they are made of aluminum or certain plastics. Additionally, lye is caustic and can pose safety hazards, such as chemical burns or harmful fumes. It's best to use safer and more appropriate methods for unclogging drains.
Lye (Sodium Hydroxide) can be found in many hardware stores, or ordered on line. Some sell lye in bulk, in bags from 35 to 50 pounds in weight. Lye is also marketed as a drain-opening product, as well -- but the label should be checked to make sure the product is 100% lye. See the link below for more information.

Home Depot typically does not carry Red Devil lye specifically, as it is a brand that is more commonly found in grocery stores or specialty retailers. However, Home Depot does sell other types of lye or sodium hydroxide products that can be used for similar purposes, such as drain cleaners or chemical products for soap making. It's best to check the Home Depot website or contact your local store for availability.
When red devil lye (sodium hydroxide) is mixed with aluminum foil, a chemical reaction occurs that produces hydrogen gas and sodium aluminate. The reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases heat, and can be quite vigorous, potentially leading to bubbling and foaming. This reaction is often used in demonstrations of chemical reactions, but caution is advised due to the release of heat and gas.
Lye Soap is made by combining Lye (Sodium hydroxide), Oils and water together at the right temperature and ratio as to begin saponification. Ordinary soap like in the supermarket is not this type of soap. They do not contain lye at all.
