Australia.. sodium hydroxide

[Gowpen]

Just had a trip to the local hardware store (bunnings) and found 'shellite'. But I Didnt buy any yet.....
Now for sodium hydroxide... Only found 55% W/W, in a granulated form for drain cleaning ...could I use this ?
Any ideas please
Regards

I would assume what most people buy is sold for drain cleaning, the stuff i have doesn't even tell me the percentage, i'm sure it will work as long as theres nothing else in it.

no where in aus that SWIM could find sells anything above 55%.

SWIM uses Potasium hydroxide, sold in bunnings as "PHup" (480g/l)

100ml per 50g of MHRB
