Potasium hydroxide is Lye.
But the slang term for sodium hydroxide has become "lye".
And it is not that easy to get, here in the states. It used to be sold as red devil drain cleaner at the grocery stores. I heard they pulled it.
I have a large bag myself. Hope it is not going bad. What if I was to seal it in a 5 gallon bucket with a lid?
