Caustic curves and surfaces are called catacaustic when formed by reflection, and diacaustic when formed by refraction.
caustic curves: plural form of caustic curve

caustic potash: {i} potassium hydroxide, toxic and very corrosive white chemical (used in the soap and bleach industry)
caustic soda: Sodium hydroxide, chemical formula NaOH White deliquescent crystals that absorb carbon dioxide and water from the air Soluble in water, alcohol and glycerol and used as a strong base in chemical reactions
caustic soda: The common name for Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) a colorless, odorless liquid produced as part of the same process that creates chlorine from brine A strong alkali which is used as a neutralizing agent in a wide range of chemical processes
caustic soda: sodium hydroxide, NaOH
caustic soda: Often referred to as "caustic" or "lye," it is the principal co-product in chlorine manufacture Sold as a household chemical for unblocking drains and used industrially in the manufacture of rayon, pulp and paper, aluminium, soaps and detergents, textiles and vegetable oils

caustic soda: Caustic soda is a powerful chemical substance used to make strong soaps and clean drains. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH), an inorganic compound. The alkalies called caustic soda and caustic potash (potassium hydroxide) are very important industrial chemicals, with uses in the manufacture of soaps, glass, and numerous other products. They have been easily extracted since ancient times by soaking wood ashes in water (see lye). Industrial methods of caustic-soda production developed in the 18th century (the Leblanc process) and 19th century (the Solvay, or ammonia-soda, process) have been largely displaced by electrolysis
