Am I correct in understanding that TSP, also called Sugar Soap....
Nope. TSP is Tri-sodium phosphate... So what is in Draino? -- --Myron A. Calhoun. Five boxes preserve our freedoms: soap, ballot, witness, jury, and cartridge PhD EE (retired). "Barbershop" tenor.

Am I correct in understanding that TSP, also called Sugar Soap....
Nope. TSP is Tri-sodium phosphate... So what is in Draino? The Draino brand drain-unclogger I have seen is a mixture of lye pellets, and granulated aluminum. When dumped into a drain and watered, the lye and aluminum react, generating hydrogen gas, quite a bit of heat, and often some steam. The heat helps break up the gunk clogging the drain. "Red Devil" brand drain-unclogger is just lye, without the aluminum. If I recall correctly it even comes with instructions for making lye soap, using lye and fat. -- Dave Platt AE6EO Hosting the Jade Warrior home page: http://www.radagast.org/jade-warrior I do _not_ wish to receive unsolicited commercial email, and I will boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads! |
