Ingestion:

Revision Date : January 2021
Corrosive! Swallowing may cause severe burns of mouth, throat, and stomach.
Severe scarring of tissue and death may result. Symptoms may include bleeding,
vomiting, diarrhea, fall in blood pressure. Damage may appears days after
exposure.
Skin Contact:
Corrosive! Contact with skin can cause irritation or severe burns and scarring
with greater exposures.
Eye Contact:
Corrosive! Causes irritation of eyes, and with greater exposures it can cause
burns that may result in permanent impairment of vision, even blindness.
Chronic Exposure:
Prolonged contact with dilute solutions or dust has a destructive effect upon
tissue.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or eye problems or impaired respiratory
function may be more susceptible to the effects of the substance.
SECTION IV - FIRST AIDS MEASURES
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing
is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
Ingestion:
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING! Give large quantities of water or milk if available.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention
immediately.
Skin Contact:
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Call a physician, immediately. Wash
clothing before reuse.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting
lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.
Note to Physician:
Perform endoscopy in all cases of suspected sodium hydroxide ingestion. In cases
of severe esophageal corrosion, the use of therapeutic doses of steroids should
be considered. General supportive measures with continual monitoring of gas
exchange, acid-base balance, electrolytes, and fluid intake are also required.
SECTION V - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire:
Not considered to be a fire hazard. Hot or molten material can react violently
with water.
Can react with certain metals, such as aluminum, to generate flammable hydrogen
gas.
Explosion:
May cause fire and explosions when in contact with incompatible materials.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire. Adding water to
caustic solution generates large amounts of heat.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-
contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure
demand or other positive pressure mode.

SECTION VI - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Keep unnecessary and unprotected people away
from area of spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified
in Section 8. Contain and recover liquid when possible. Do not flush caustic
residues to the sewer. Residues from spills can be diluted with water,
neutralized with dilute acid such as acetic, hydrochloric or sulfuric. Absorb
neutralized caustic residue on clay, vermiculite or other inert substance and
package in a suitable container for disposal.
SECTION VII - HANDLING AND STORAGE
Keep in a tightly closed container. Protect from physical damage. Store in a
cool, dry, ventilated area away from sources of heat, moisture and
incompatibilities. Store above 16C (60F) to prevent freezing. Always add the
caustic to water while stirring; never the reverse. Containers of this material
may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (vapors, liquid);
observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product. Do not store with
aluminum or magnesium. Do not mix with acids or organic materials.
SECTION VIII - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Airborne Exposure Limits:
- OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):
2 mg/m3 Ceiling
- ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
2 mg/m3 Ceiling
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee
exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is
generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at
its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer
to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended
Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a
half facepiece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be
worn for up to ten times the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration
specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever
is lowest.. A full-face piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N100 filters)
may be worn up to 50 times the exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration
specified by the appropriate regulatory agency, or respirator supplier,
whichever is lowest. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids,
glycerine, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or
instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-facepiece
positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators
do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or
coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is
possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.

SECTION X – STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Stability:
Stable under ordinary conditions of use and storage.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:
Sodium oxide. Decomposition by reaction with certain metals releases flammable
and explosive hydrogen gas.
Hazardous Polymerization:
Will not occur.
Incompatibilities:
Sodium hydroxide in contact with acids and organic halogen compounds, especially
trichloroethylene, may causes violent reactions. Contact with nitromethane and
other similar nitro compounds causes formation of shock-sensitive salts. Contact
with metals such as aluminum, magnesium, tin, and zinc cause formation of
flammable hydrogen gas. Sodium hydroxide, even in fairly dilute solution, reacts
readily with various sugars to produce carbon monoxide. Precautions should be
taken including monitoring the tank atmosphere for carbon monoxide to ensure
safety of personnel before vessel entry.
Conditions to Avoid:
Heat, moisture, incompatibles.
SECTION XI - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Sodium hydroxide: irritation data: skin, rabbit: 500 mg/24H severe; eye rabbit:
