Synonyms	Caustic alkali Caustic soda Hydrate of soda Soda lye Sodic hydrate Lye Sodium hydroxide solid Sodium hydrate Red Devil Lye Mineral alkali

Uses	High-energy accelerator or alkali sometimes used to activate low-energy developing agents (e.g. hydroquinone). Caustic alkalis are most often used where a powerful and quick-acting developer is required. Developers compounded with caustic alkali have poor keeping properties and are soon exhausted.
