They could have just called it sodium or potassium hydroxide

I showed the trailers to be designed to produce high pressure gasses. One trailer produced hydrogen from an aluminum / acid reaction. The hydrogen could be used to fill balloons which checked wind direction for artillary fire. The second trailer, using identical equipment but different chemicals, produced pressurised nitrogen from the caustic compound sodium azide. This gas was used to blow dust and moisture from artillary firing mechanisms. These trailers are not mysterious at all and need to be mobile to stay with the artillary as it is moved. There is no biologic function whatsoever.
