Section 03 : HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Solution is corrosive to body tissues and metallic materials, may react violently with acids.
EYE CONTACT……………………………………….. Causes eye burns. Causes severe eye burns.
SKIN CONTACT……………………………………… May be harmful if absorbed through skin. Causes skin burns.
INHALATION………………………………………… May be harmful if inhaled. Material is extremely destructive to the tissue of the
mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract.
INGESTION…………………………………………... May be harmful if swallowed.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED …. Skin and lung disorders may be affected adversely by this material.
BY OVEREXPOSURE
Section 04 : FIRST AID MEASURES
EYE CONTACT……………… Immediately flush with water for at least 15 minutes, lifting the upper and lower eyelids
intermittently. See a medical doctor or ophthalmologist immediately.
SKIN CONTACT ……………. Immediately flush with plenty of water while removing contaminated clothing and/or shoes,
and thoroughly wash with soap and water. See a medical doctor immediately.
INHALATION ……………….. Remove to fresh air. If breathing difficulty or discomfort occurs and persists, contact a medical
doctor.
INGESTION ..................... Rinse mouth with water. Dilute by giving 1 or 2 glasses of water. Do not induce vomiting. Never
give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. See a medical doctor immediately.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN : Sodium hydroxide at this concentration is corrosive. Major burns to all surfaces may result.
Prolonged dilution with water is required. Neutralization of eye burns is absolutely contraindicated; for skin, 2% acetic acid
has been recommended, but wash with water is effective. Ingestion requires milk or water dilution, consideration of
esphagoscopy and management for possible esophageal stricture.
Section 05 : FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLAMMABILITY………………………………………. Not flammable or combustible.
EXTINGUISING MEDIA……………………………. Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
PROTECTION OF FIREFIGHTERS ……………… Wear self-containing breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS…. Hazardous decomposition products formed under fire conditions: sodium
oxides.
Section 06 : ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MESURES
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS ……… Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up.
ENVIRONMENTAL
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains.
PRECAUTIONS……………………….. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
-2METHODS FOR CLEAN UP ………
Soak up with an inert absorbent material and dispose of as hazardous waste. Keep in
suitable, closed containers for disposal.
Section 07 : HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING PROCEDURES …………... During handling of liquid, prevent contact with skin and eyes by using adequate
personal protective equipment. Avoid inhalation of vapor or mist.
STORAGE NEEDS…………………………. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are
opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.
Section 08 : EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION
EXPOSURE LIMITS………………. Sodium Hydroxide: ACGIH 2 mg/m3 (ceiling); OSHA 2 mg/m3 (PEL)
ENGINEERING CONTROLS…… Adequate engineering controls and/or personal protective equipment must be used to
prevent contact with skin and eyes. Engineering controls and/or respirators may be
necessary when the generation of airborne mists or fogs are possible.
EYES AND FACE ………………….. Chemical goggles (and face shield if necessary) should be worn to prevent contact.
RESPIRATORY……………………… Wear full face-piece respirators approved by MSHA / NIOSH if mists are expected.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING ……… Rubber or vinyl apron. Rubber boots or rubber overshoes.
GLOVES ……………………………… Impervious rubber or vinyl gloves with gauntlets. Thoroughly wash the outside of gloves
with soap and water prior to removal. Inspect regularly for leaks.
HYGIENE MEASURES …………
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before
breaks and at the end of workday.
